it is on a honda crx hf 89 near the hood prop bracket there is a 2 wire clip that is capped off 1 wire is brown with blue dotts and the other is green with a white stripe? anybody know?

 

can you get a pic?

 

It is a jumper for setting the base ignition timing..
You jump it to let the ecu know you are doing this
so it does not try to alter it..

 

yeah the older crx's have it there, 90 and later have it by the ecu

 

thanks. yah ever since i have owned the car i was wondering what it was for

where is that jumper clip on the 90 civic hatchs?

 

It should be in the area pictured..
Passenger side kick panel under the dash


(This pic is from my car which is an '88 so it is in the engine compartment..)

88DXCRX for mod with EL Vap!

Anyone want to tell me the difference/advantages of ignition timing over cam timing? Or are they pretty much the same? That is to say, could I advance the igntion timing 2 degrees on my stock Si and run 93 Octane for more power? Or am I sounding like a retard?

 

Ignition timing and cam timing are two different things as far as I understand. I believe ignition timing is pretty dependant upon mods...you can't just add 2 degees and get more power.

This is how I see the 2 (I could be wrong)

Ignition timing is the relation of the actual spark in relative to top dead center.

Cam timing is the relation of the rotation of the camshaft in relative to top dead center.

 

holy crap, now i know what the yellow plug is for, hope my timing isn't fawked then, b/c i set it to 17* of advance!

You wouldn't "gain" the power, so much as shifting it from elsewhere in the curve . . .

Shifting it low would be nice, but shifting the TQ up high would mathematically give you more HP since it is a function of TQ.
