Default having a problem with 450 DSM injectors

so i got a new wiring harness, tossted the old 1 out. wired in my honda OEM resistor box, try to fire the car but it wont stay alive, dies out unless u give it throttle.

swapped to normal OEM injectors and it ran like a charm.

these injectors were fine up until i swapped the harness so im guessing thats its not the injecotors them selfs are messed up.




anyone have an idea what could be going on, also how can i tested the wires the make sure im getting power on the whole resistor box or something?

the yellow/blk wires are all grounds i believe so would a test light work?

iv wired in 3 boxes in my life already, im pretty sure...

just wire in the 4 black wires inbetween the injectors and the ECU. (ground)

and 1 red wire on the box to the power signal to the injectors.




idk i mean i could have wires touching somewhere or something... idk any thoughts

sounds like the ecu isnt setup for those injectors. you said youself you wired in the box with the dsm's and it ran terrible. but you put the oem ones in and it ran fine. that proves that its not tuned for it.

this was my previous tune.

i had a b20vtec with this ecu and the 450 injectors

now i have the same ecu and same injectors.


this tune is for those injectors i think something just might be grounding or idk

you sure you got the wiring right?

all the yellow/black (power) wires go to the red wire, then distribute the wires coming out of the box to each injector...order is irrelevant.

u got it backwards.

on the resistor box there is 4 black wires and 1 red wire.

all of the black/yellow wires that are on the injectors are to be spliced into the 4 black wires on the resistor box.

the 1 black/yellow wire on the other connector is the signal to the ecu and thats the 1 that goes to the red wire.

like example yay, http://civic-eg.com/viewtopic.php?t=17

to add on that, today i cut everything that i wired and spliced it all back to OEM, now it runs but with a MISS. i think that i might of just cross a wire or two. because after re doing it i can get it to idle.

just have to double check my work, its hard to keep wires organzied once their out of their oem loom
