Problems with wiring eg b16a.

Problems with conversion.

details are as follows.

-civic eg si 92
-ek b16a2 conversion
-obd1 to obd2 conversion harness

So what happened, well i tried to start the engine today and the thing just won't turn over... i narrowed it down to the injector plugs, now this is whats puzzling me. Ok there are 2 holes on the plugs [the first is power and the second earth] when i tested it with a light pen the first showed that there was power [ignition on] but when the ignition is off it shows that it is also earthed. whilst the second hole has no response what so ever... so now, has anyone had this type of problem and what do you suggest i do.

Could it be the ecu? or the harness itself? or the conversion harness?

argh this is so fustrating.

thanks

are you using a ECU from a AUDM car

if so it has an immobilizer in it that wont let it start your car.

[kraftycuts]

yeah i'm using an audm ecu ... so how do i tackle this problem?

[ECU-MAN]

what is the ECU code number

[BlitZ]

i dont think ek have immbolisers on there ECU.. only 99-00 model AUDM ITR tegs have it..


I presume you are using an eg vti/sir engine harness? Else your std harness..

Wack on your std computer.. you should be able to start the car with it, if its ecu related

i followed the diy for immo removal... that has solved the injector problems.
the car still won't kick over ... so now i am wondering do i need the alternator up and running for the engine to start?

the alternator is plugged in but the belt is not on yet...

buy my eg6 ecu ... obd1

thanks for the offer INI but i'm looking to try and fix the problem before spending $280 on your ecu...

so does any body have any other ideas on what the problem could be... I have done a compression test and all cylinders seems to be fine. i have taken apart my dizzy and it looks pretty good as well. Im kinda lost now.

thanks

Are u sure u fixed the injector prob,how did u determine they are working?

Is fuel pump priming?

Have u done a code check?

[kraftycuts]

well i used an light plug on the injectors and it flashed so thats how i figured that out.

How do you check if the fuel pump is priming. I know there is fuel getting to the block cause when i remove the spark plugs i can smell the fuel on the head and also when i did the compression test there were air fuel mixture being sprayed out.

Code check.... hmm i haven't done that yet.. will try on tuesday... is there anything else that i can do to check or try?

thanks

sounds strange. so your engine cranks but it just doesn't start?

[CRXer]

Ok,sounds like injectors work.

Put your head under the back of the car near fuel tank,when someone turns on ignition u will hear the pump prime for 2 secs.

If above ok,u know your getting fuel,u reckon u got compression,all thats left is air & spark.

IACV is hooked up? or at least throttle cable hooked up?so it can get some air.

Code check first,then check spark, at least that will narrow it down a bit more.
