Default Going to the Ref Today!

Oh joy. Heading off to the ref to finally get my BAR sticker. We'll see how things go. It's a B18C5 in a 92 EH2. Everything is wired for OBDII. No codes have been thrown for a bit. Let's hope it stays that way. Damn California.

Yeah. Only thing I have is AEM CAI, but it has a CARB number so I'm fine.

Running a '00 USDM P73. For the FTPS, I used one off of a 96 Civic. I have a Type R fuel tank, but I didn't put it in the car. I ran all the electronics off the stock 92 tank, and used the ports on that to connect to the hoses for the OBDII EVAP system. Everything is wired up and all the hoses are run to their respective places.

But there is a sensor on the tank isn't there?

I guess you also have the immobilzer circuitry in your car too

From what I took out of the service manual, there was no electrical plug on top of the fuel tank, as in no plug around the area under the seat bottoms near the fuel pump. The vacuum port that existed on the OBDI tank which was a part of the OBDI EVAP system was used for the OBDII EVAP system. Sort of just plug and play, with wires galore!

I'm sorry I was mistaken for the ECU is a 98.

re-set your ecu before going if you threw a code a while back and didn't re-set it. since you converted to OBD2, is there a spot for them to hook up the scanner?

if you fail there, re-test in Alameda at the college. They are a lot more leanient than the other places.

Reset it quite a few times before. No codes have been thrown for quite some time now. And yes, I have the DLC (Data Link Connector) wired up under the dash by the center console.

Last time I ran lower octane the knock sensor flared up. Running 91 clears all problems for me.
