Hi there, I am looking for some help or information if people have done this before.
I am Manual swapping my 1999 CF4 Accord with the F20B DOHC.

I started with everything from a manual Torneo Euro R

• Hubs
• Gearbox
• shifter linkages and shifter
• Axles
• engine Loom
• dash Looms
• manual ECU

I have swapped everything over, and well, the car no longer cranks or has any dash ligthts i was able to get the car to run originally on the manual engine loom and ecu. I just had to jump the starter motor, but had no speedo or key start.
So basically, I'm looking to see if anyone has done a similar swap or has any ideas.

Thanks

Have you checked your ignition wire to the starter?

 

I'm not familiar with accords but with the integras, you have to connect the ignition wires in the shift selector pigtail. In that branch of your dash harness you should find two wires on the plug, or a separate two-wire plug, that goes to your auto shifter that are much thicker gauge than the rest, those are likely the wires you need to connect. Be sure to check your FSM to make sure you have the right wires identified before connecting. Ideally you would put them on a relay and tie it into your clutch switch (like how Honda does it OEM).

 

Thanks for your responses. I have checked the ignition wiring and deleted all automatic wiring and swapped it with a manual harness from a euro R torneo but now when ya turn the key there is nothing no dash lights or anything so unsure what my next steps are.
Might get pushed into the corner and left for a while haha.

 

You pulled your dash apart and replaced the harness inside the car? Sorry just have to make sure

 

Yep, the dash has been out, I have replaced the engine harness and dash looms

 

Hmm at that point if you were able to kind-of get it working before it stopped I would be looking at relays, fuses and maybe a capacitor took a dump on the ECU.

 

I am really hoping it's something simple that ive overlooked as ive been working on this slowly for well over a year now
