Default Some More DPFI to MPFI questions......

I have a 91 civic hatch, not sure on the code but it's the most bare one you can get. I just got a SI motor from Nippon and we Just got done fighting with these Vague instructions off the net on my swap and now, of course, the car runs like crap and it's flashing codes non stop (mostly a TDC code) I'm not 100% on the wiring job, but before you guys get to flaming, hear me out.

The instuctions weren't very specific, and when they were, like the A3 and A7 wire colors, they were off! said they were supposed to be like red and yellow or something? and they weren't. So we were confused as to weather to just go with the wires in the pin #'s or find the right colors. We just went with the pin #'s and disregaurded the colors. Was that right?

The injector #'s were backwards. I got a diagram and it showed the injector order backwards from the cylinder #'s or is that normal??

Moving the orange and white wires from their spot over to B10 and B12, well it said that B12 might have a wire in it and it did, and that you could use one from B2 or B11 for B10 cause they were empty but both those had wires in them. So we took the pin and wire from B2 (think it was orange) and used it....don't know if that was right or wrong?? or if it had a purpose there or not and we jsut messed it up??

Finally, the distributor wiring colors were no-where near what the diagram said. It was calling to connect all these diff color wires but all my harness AND the distributor had were like a few whites with diff color tracers and 2 plain whites. Now both the harness and dist. wires were identical so we just conected them color to color with the exception of the 2 plain white ones, we just left those loose so we could change them back and forth since we didn't know which white went to which white. Don't know if that was right either or if we should've tried to follow the diagram better. But I don't see how cause like I said the colors weren't right.....

Thanks in advance for any help or advice you guys have. Gettin a little agrivated not to have my Honda when gas is over $3 a gallon and I drive 50 min to work each day........

Yea, this wiring **** is for the Birds! Double checked everything, this that and the other, blah blah blah......nothing. Seems like it's only runnin on 2 cylinders?? Think I'm just gonna look for a Whole Body harness and another SI engine harness. That way I can just plug it in and go. Shouldn't be any problems there.......I hope.....So if anyone know's where to find one, shoot some info my way...

perhaps you were looking at the pinouts incorrectly.

Nope, that was one of the points we were confused on at 1st and we made sure that we were looking at it the right way. Like I said before, probably the biggest problem is that the instructions call for wires to be one color and it's a totally different color on my harness, which is really confusing. I don't even care about this crap anymore, no one seems to know what is going on or have any USEFULL advice besides the almighty Search Key. I just wanna find another Si harness and body harness to make it a complete swap. Is there no one in the Us who has these laying around???????????
