I just bought a 89 hatch w/ a b17 swap in it, the car uses a obd0 ecu modded to run the obd1 motor.

The guy who sold it to me had a tach mounted, but it was stolen and the wires were cut. He said it was hooked up so that you could adjust VTEC engagement w/ the tach, and now after the wires are cut, VTEC doesnt work anymore.

There are 4 wires that went to the tach, one is a ground I believe, one went to the fuse box, one went to the little round thing on the vtec solenoid, and last one was tapped into a distributor wire.

So whats going on? I am pretty bad at wiring, what should I do to restore vtec on my car?

 

get that ghetto crap taken out.

 

hmmm, yes thats my intentions, but Im not sure if vtec will work, anyone know whats going on here?

 

how in the hell could you wire a tach to control vtec engagement...i call bs

 

yeah, i dont know what the guy's talking about, but thats what he said.

okay, to simplify the question, I have removed all the wires except the one attached to the small cylinder on the vtec solenoid, is that supposed to be there? what do I do w/ it?

so confused!!!

 

hellllppp
