Sorry for tilts maybe this only pisses me off. Picked up 99em1 with from what I can tell JDM B16A gen 2 motor car has been sitting for a number of years ran first crank but figured I would change plugs wires and dizzy cap fuel filter ..... the lot when trying to unravel wich cap I need I noticed .... electrical tape uhhhh see picture trying to figure out what cap this is and why they did this. Car seems to have em1 harness and is running on em1 Ecu thanks again. Oh and I know not the right valve cover guy through it in brand new from Honda for 20 bucks.

 

Swap the plugs on your VTP and ECT sensors... they are backwards. VTP = Black and Blue/Black wires; ECT = Red/White and Green/Black wires.

You failed to provide a good pic of the distributor cap. If you purchased an OBD-2 B16 distributor cap, and it didn't fit... what EXACTLY was the fitment issue ? Bolt holes on the flat side too close together ?

 

Havent bought cap yet got stoped at the tape amd shoty rewire sorry if that was confusing wondering why they would have wired this what was the need.

 

Bump

 

your post literally didn't ask any questions.

 

Broken wires... pinched wires... previous owner had some bunk-*** electrical gizmo purchased from EBay that promised to add 50 wheel HP... who cares what the reasoning was. Fix it and move on. Sometimes there just isn't a good reason why. Do yourself a favor and don't try and get into the mind of an idiot... it is a dangerously contagious place to be.

 

Yes my post did not ask a question upon further review. So question we’re they spliced they spliced two different colors together WhT is the original wiring color for this connector? There question asked

 

Does the engine run properly ? If not, you may have some improper wiring connections at the distributor. If it runs properly, wire color is immaterial. The reasons could be as simple as a replacement wire in a plug that didn't match the original wire color. It could also be that the original wiring has discolored over time... fading and appearing to be a different color when in fact it is the proper original wire.

 

it's hard to tell just from the harness plug to the distributor, but two butt connectors is definitely not a butchered harness. I'll post a picture of my stock 00 si dizzy harness

I dont know much about aftermarket mods on the car and its possible at some point it had an aftermarket coil or ecu to control ignition or the coil. Its also possible that a mouse could have chewed the wire or they just frayed from getting stretched
