Default arrghh... IAB help please....

well i have a 94 CX with a 95 gs-r motor. i have a skunk2 manifold on it but i need to put the stock intake manifold back on so i can ref my motor.

all i learned from the search is that i need to move the A20 wire to A17. i am using the gs-r harness. can someone show me a pic of the IAB and is it prewired already? all i have to do is move the A20 to A17 and i'm done?

That's going from OBD2 to OBD1.

If you are using an OBD1 harness, then you won't need to change **** other than ADD the wire from the IAB box to A17.

If the wire is there or you added it, make sure it's touching the pin on the ECU.

As for the other wire on the IAB harness connector, you need that with a 12v wire.

Once those are wired up, grab a test light and put it with the wire going to A17 inside your car and take the car for a drive and see if the light turns on at around 6500 RPM (if i am correct.)

Moving A20 to A17 will make your IAB work. I just went through this a few months ago and thought it couldn't be that easy, but it is. You can verify that it's working by checking for vacuum (at anything below 5800 RPM, i.e. idle) on the vac line that connects to the top of the IAB dashpot (you'll also see the actuator arm move). The most fun method, however, is to listen for that telltale wail at 5800 RPM

And this is not for going from OBD2 -> OBD1. My motor and car are both OBD1.
