any ideas ?!?!

[g3vtir]

hehe i have no idea.....but let me know when its done...i wanna see how it goes.

[tinkerbell]

what were the plugs previously attached to?

what colours are the wires coming out of them?

have you treid to start the engine?

[tinkerbell]

the top pic plug should attach to the engine harness...

[tinkerbell]

and the bottom pic should attach to the FPR solenoid?

[FR33K]

but theres no more places to plug them in lol
everything is taken..

nah i havent tried to start it yet.. in the next hour or so.. ill c what happens then

[tinkerbell]

and what happens when you turn the ignition on?

[FR33K]

ill go turn the ignition on now and see what happens

[traNce_gl]

ill go turn the ignition on now and see what happens
Did it go vRoom Vroom or clik clik clik

[tinkerbell]

is the top pic plug attached to the engine harness or the chassis harness?

there should have been 3 plugs around that area, the two pin one, and the two other larger plugs.

[FR33K]

the top pic is attached to the engine harness

[tinkerbell]

Did it go vRoom Vroom or clik clik clik
it would not go vroom vroom if he was only going to turn the ignition on.

that only happens when you try to start it.

when you turn the ignition on it should go click...click and you should hear the fuel pump go whizzzzzz for 2 seconds.

the check engine light should come on for 2 seconds then go off.

if it does not go off - that is when you check for codes on the ECU and then you can troubleshoot...

[FR33K]

yeh the engine light stayed on
and it made a funny noise that wouldnt go away lol

[FR33K]

its a buzzing sound that comes from behind the cluster
and the engine light only comes on faintly

[tinkerbell]

is the battery fully charged?

are the earths good? (the one on the thermostat, the gearbox and onto the rocker cover?)

sort out the faint check engine light first...

[FR33K]

ok the b18 only had 2 connectors coming out of the engine harness whereas this one has 3
hmmm...

[tinkerbell]

yes, but in theory it should be OK?

but i dont always like theories, so you can swap the B18A engine harness onto the B16A - then you will have to add the 4 new wires,

but it should work (without VTEC though).

[tinkerbell]

yeah - sorry man - best option is to swap the B18A harness onto the B16A...

[FR33K]

would that be hard to do with the engine already in....

[tinkerbell]

there are a couple of harness clips under the intake manifold that might be difficult to remove, but not really hard,

just fiddly...

otherwise you could try re-pinning the B16A harness, but there is no-way you could do this if you didnt know how to...

[FR33K]

not looking forward to this...

[tinkerbell]

it is easy, just slightly fiddly...

it is only the injectors that are a hassle, and the bits undert the intake manifold...

the bottom red circle is the bits under the intake manifold...

[wlee2]

thats alot of wires =P.. i think id faint if that ever fell out of my car =P..

[tinkerbell]

ok shes runnning now heheheh
OMG - fantastic news!

any codes on the ECU yet?

they might not appear until after you drive it...

congratulations - i was pretty sure you would be able to do it ;)

[FR33K]

yeh the engine light is on coz i havent run the vtec etc wires yet.. cant be bothered today so driving around with no vtec
and had to get the exhaust extended so i drove to the muffler place with no exhaust.. sounded like a rotor lol

[tinkerbell]

yeah - and woulda felt gutless as eh?

glad it is on the road!

make sure you do a 'spanner check' at about 500 to 1000km just to make sure everything is still tight ;)
