Update 6/23:

Last week during the install my rachet slipped and broke off the plug on the vtec noid.
And I took a picture of that strange looking plug.
the only other plug I can find thats like it is on the emissions crap(held it up next to it). Anyone know where it goes??

Cypher suggested it was the Knock sensor.
Where do i plug it into? I've been looking all over but can't seem to find a plug for it.
And where does my Vtec plug go? I thought it would be that Green/white wire from the vtec selenoid, but it has a cripped end, and my vtec harness has a plug...
should I pull the crimper thing off, and insert it into the other side of the long plug, so it lines up with the wire?

vtecsir1 · 06-23-2006, 11:00 AM

no thats the oil pressure switch. yeah someone cut your vtec plug off so you will need a new one, just go to the junk yard or look on ebay for a vtec solenoid.

heres one

Andrew · 06-23-2006, 12:04 PM

Aight. Thanks bro.

I can get around buying a new one by just connecting my vtec wire(from my harness) to the green wire, just by cutting it and throwing a male connecting clip on there, right?
So instead of a grey plug, I'd just have the little connector.

That'll work right? dont see why it wouldnt...

Update Evening of 6/23
Got my Boomslang ecu harness in. MAD props to those guys. everything was so easy and coordinated, VERY easy/simple installation. HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!

What I've got sofar(finished 'cept for the secondary intake sensor- pink wire)

ECU GETS HERE TOMORROW!!
Should try and fire it up tomorrow if I can get an o2 sensor in time...

till then

I'm a bit of a clean freak.......

skillz2k5 · 06-24-2006, 11:39 PM

Looking good man... sorry I missed your call earlier and you should've said something to me about an o2 sensor lol!!

Andrew · 06-25-2006, 07:34 AM

lol damn it!! hahaha....

naa it's ok, a buddy here in town is giving me one today...

thats funny bro. I might as well clean out your garage!

BTW fellas, I'll post an update tonight.
I'm out of town right now, but yesterday I connected the ECU and ran the vtec wires(today is o2 sensor day, the reason I'm out of town.. getting it and MTFluid).
I'm having some trouble getting it to start however. It WILL turn over, but I think my wire order on my spark plug wires may be off.

I'm going to try and throw my A6 dizzy back on this evening. hopefully I can get it to bolt up... for somereason I remember it NOT wanting to line up in more than 1 bolt or so... we'll see.

Expect an official update and perhaps a video of it turning over for diagnostic purposes..

Not that it matters since you got a conversion harness but..

OBD0 vtec harness's came with the square single wire vtec plug so how you have it plugged up on the firewall isnt right. your vtec plug on the motor itslef was cut so it wouldnt be used anyways.

since you said you are running a b16 the 2ndarys wont be used. those are for h22 or gsr

you also dont have the map sensor plugged up or the vac line ran.
you need to unplug the map sensor on the firewall (round 3 pin plug in 2nd pic) and plug it into the map on the throttle body (less to mess with instead of running the vac line to the intake from the firewall map)

Update 6/27:

Car still won't start up. I've traced it to the fuel pump not turning on.
Wires have power, but it's not turning on.

I've checked over the wires, the #1 fuse, and it's still not turning on...

Any suggestions?
-Andrew

Airjockie · 06-27-2006, 04:59 PM

test the fuel pump relay somehow, or try another relay that has the same part number if there is one on the car....

if all else fails, since the pump should have the common ground to chassis, run a spare wire to the fuel pump and connect the other end to a fuse in the ACC circuit....ghetto I know, but if it works till you have time to trouble shoot the system later....

Andrew · 06-27-2006, 05:13 PM

I'll try another relay.
Do you know off hand which to check into?

Thanks
-Andrew

gofastmobile · 06-27-2006, 05:57 PM

progress looks good so far dude. good luck with starting it up!
cheers

lil_red_rex · 06-27-2006, 08:38 PM

Afte looking through my PDF Helms Manual, this is what I found about the fuel pump:
(click to enlarge)

I'll definatly try and replace that main relay today!
I'm off work all day, so expect an update later!

lil_red_rex · 06-28-2006, 11:47 AM

How about now?

Today I Pinpointed the problem.
Bad fuel pump!
Multimeter says it's got power going to it-

I'll pick up a fuel pump today and try and get it in there.
The only problem is that right before the engine pooped out on me(before the swap) I filled up the tank w/ gas!! lol! now I've got like 3/4 of a tank to un-fill.
Pics later today, as well as more info.

Andrew · 06-29-2006, 12:45 PM

Change of plans, I need the car running soon, so I went ahead and got it towed to the shop to have my buddy take a look.

He'll hook me up.
I'll let you guys know what it was when he tells me.

my friend that i bought it from said he spun through 2nd, and chriped third with it in his rex.. also that it makes more torque than his b16 he has in it now(b/c of the high compression)... so it'll be fun to drive!!

Thanks for all the help guys.

Look what the cat(usps) drug in...

Next paycheck will yeild some new tires. (195/50/15's. Yokohama AVS ES100's. Don't flame if you don't care for them, I've done my research and have talked to autocrosser's about which they like best, and they recommended these.)
