ok, i swapped a built 00' D16y8 into my 98 Civic...

I used my stock D16y5 Wiring harness...from my 98 HX, and a P2P ECU from a 97 civic EX...we swapped the motor in, wired her up, and it wont start...it turns over but we're getting no spark.

There are two plugs/sensors/whatevers left over on the wiring harness with nowhere left to go....can this all be fixed by getting a OBD2-A harness?

What would you all reccomend?

Thanks
-Tom.

 

oh, and my friend who pretty much did all the work told me to add taht my stock d16y5 harness doesnt have a sensor for the knock on there, but the harness i got with the d16y8 did....

P.S. we didnt use the harness that came with the D16y8 becuase it didnt plug up to ANY of my ECUs.

 

I'm the co-installer. I'll try to answer any questions I can, but I'm not a honda guy

 

bump. i need help.

 

I guess no one has any ideas.

 

what distributor did you use. they could be differant

 

i went to switch out the distributors..and the plugs coming off the distributor htat plugs into the wiring harness are different...

therefore im led to assume that:

Since the plugs from the distributor are different, the distributor itself is different...and since its different it won't work on tihs engine, and thus since i cant swap them out since the plug from the harness wont fit hte plug on the other distributor...i must buy a new harness...im on my way to honda...i dont really care about the $ i just want everything to work right.

 

tom, did you find out about that knock sensor? find out how much it is.

 

find out what about it...the harness doesnt have a plug for it.

Hey everyone...why doesnt my d16y5 harness have a plug for a knock sensor?
