So I didn't think to buy a convesion harness cuz of cash flow but the car started out as a dual piont. Did the dpfi to mpfi. Completed drove on for a while. Now decided to do the mini me swap
Heres what I have
91 civic lx sedan
Z6 head dizzy
of course the HG and all other gaskets
rywire ecu jumper.
Everything is ready to start but my diz is wired wrong and can't find any write ups wit the colors that match my harness... Which is the dpfi distributor hook up.
 
I have always just bout the conversion harness. last one I got came from Rywire as a complete OBD0 to OBD1 with VTEC wiring and all, but the one before that I got for cheap on ebay. Tho I thought I remembered something being wrong with that one... Or maybe something was wrong on the car side? I dunno my last hatch had some hacked up wiring by one of the P.O.'s

Sorry brother.
 
Lol thanks fout at least tryin,, I have fixed the distributor, but it doesn't crank over, grounding issue???
 
check all of the grounds first, and your main fuses under the hood if nothing has power, then last could be a loose cable on the starter.

now hopefully you already made sure or know the battery isnt dead too.
 
I got it to turn over but it still doesnt have enough power to fire...
i have three or four different grounds.
 
you broke it.

lol that would be my luck..
its my timing. I believe I went off the wrong mark...it has an aftermarket pulley
im gonna retime it and fix the water leak.. I willl post tommorow!!
 
just stumbled on this.
if the timing is remotely close it should start. if not you have the dizzy wires messed up somewhere.
here's the wire codes and how they should have been swapped.

just in case you overswa some things.... to do an Obd0-1 conversion you need.
ECU- p28 is common
4 wire 02 sensor
Dizzy and swap the wires.
run wires for vtec

I think that may be it....
