ok guys
swapped a jdm d15b into the 95 civic eg sedan
everything was good
all of a sudden car wont start
keep cranking.. now it stoped cranking at all

im assuming..
1.battery on car
2.altenator..
3. starter
4. distrub

also when i keep cranking smoke was coming out of the ecu
so i stoped cranking it and left it
its been in the garage for a month now and i wanan get it fixed
i miss my baby

 

what harness did you use? Sounds like maybe you tried using the stock JDM harness and some of the wires were crossed and fried something. If not please give more of a detailed description.

 

used the stock d15b7 harness
to a p08 ecu
sorry forgot to mention that

 

Is it the JDM harness?

 

no my car is an ex canadian i didnt switch the harness
people on here said its a waste of money and to just connect the vtec

 

Hmmm may want to go back and make sure you did all the wiring correctly. Sounds like you have a power and ground wire wired up incorrectly. Other then that I dont know bro sorry.

 

thanks
what i was going to do was ground everything for now with other wire.. what wire do you all suggest to use? also should i go buy new alt, starter, dist?

i dont even know if its the relays or fuel pump

 

I wouldnt buy anything until you figure out what is bad. Could just be wasting money. On the ground though I would probably use 8 or 10 gauge wire to ground everything.

 

so off to the audio store eh

 

sum1 has to know

 

pics of my main relay..

 

is your CEL on?

 

yah it was before
but now i haev no battery in it i think its dead
and i just checked the fuse which looks dead too
so im gonna try and buy a new battery and a fuse

 

ttt

 

bump

 

Did you forget to connect the grounds?

 

why did you have to wire vtec if you had an ex? was there a point in swapping basically the same motor into the car? im assuming it has high miles or something....sorry just wondering

d15b7 in ex
swapped to d15b
wtf

 

weird...i dont think ur main relays suppose to fry like that dude...something in your wiring is definatly wrong...just take the time to rerun everything...and the rewiring for VTEC is a good question...

 

well today
infront of my work
sum guy with a honda i think older accord
his car wouldnt start
he called emergency assistent and the guy told me it is the ignition coil on the distrub.. he said no body changes them and just get new distribs

so maybe that could be it

 

ttt

 

that is one nasty *** lookin' main relay... the pics fuzzy so it's hard to tell, did it fry or is it corrosion?

 

looks fried and has a whole lot of corossion on it
acid was on it too
my hands were all numb after lol
