Did you follow Boomslang's chart?
I edited the front page. Please look at the letters in BIG font.

Your welcome. I'm very sorry if it misled you any.
The main point of the thread was to just show how to actually connect them, not nessesarily to follow my exact wire colors(because for some reason my wires are different colors than reg. obd-1 connectors.- I had 3 to look at, so I got it right, but it's just different colors than anyone else I guess.).

Again I'm sorry if I misled you with this post!!! It sounds like you got your car running with the aid of your friend though. Thats the most important thing!

hey andrew another way you could do it is... soldering the obd0 connector from the obd0 dizzy to the obd1 dizzy..correct?

Yeah, I guess you could re-pin a dizzy connector to obd-0, too.

I will probably eventually repin my obd-0 plug into an obd-1 one(on the harness), but have to figure out how to get these stinkin pins out. I tried it a little bit, but didn't want to damage the wires/pins/connectors.

well couldnt you just cut the female connector from the obd0 dizzy and solder it onto the obd1 dizzy swapping which ever wires you need to.
I guess it would be cleaner to depin the obd0 connector and put the pins into the obd1 connector.
my problem is I cant find a obd1 connector anywhere around where I live.

Good write up!

Concerning the replacement of the plug on an OBD1 dizzy with an OBD0 piece (or vice versa), I believe the actual pins themselves and\or wire gauges are different between the distributors\harnesses. Merely re-pinning in this scenario may not work properly. I may be wrong, I don't have any parts in front of me to check this out, I just remember thinking about something like that when I swapped a Z6 into my 89 CRX Si and used RyWire's OBD0-OBD1 VTEC harness for the conversion. I'm pretty sure a jumper harness like this one is the most practical thing to run as it is plug n play, removable, and time efficient.

yes Im pretty sure you to repin the obd1 connector you would have to get new pins and crimp them onto wires. not necessarily use the pins from the obd0 connector in the obd1 connector.
as for the ecu jumper..... yea with that kit it most likely came with the obd0 to obd1 dizzy adapter. too many connectors than needed is what I think of that.

If I'm not mistaken the plugs on the obd1 and obd2 are the same. You should be able to just plug it up. Right guys?

I'm probably wrong, as I'm an obd0-1 guy, but I'm pretty confident the actual PLUGS are the same, but the wiring may be different, idk.
