I am running a B18C1 (ODB1) in a Honda Civic CX (EK, Hatch, ODB2)
I just got everything finished in my driveway
- Used the CX wiring harness
- I matched distributor wires one for one (double and triple checked)
- Wired the injectors straight across
- Converted the IASV to 2 wire and moved A14 to A12 (removed A13)
- Using a skunk2 ODB2 to ODB1 converter
- Changed my own timing belt (first time I have ever done this)(could be wrong)
- Still no Exhaust (it needs to run so I can drive it to the shop)'
- I don’t have a ground on the valve cover yet? There was a small scrap of ground before, Do I require this ground to idle?
The car starts and idles around 400-500 (almost stalling out). When the gas is pressed just enough to get the car to 1000 RPM it runs great but after about 1 minute the car increases its idle up by 500 RPM.
I keep reading about dual butterfly’s on the GSR, Do I need to run another wire to add this in? I currently do not have a wire on A26, Should I? I also have 3 unused connectors on the wiring harness. One connector is for the non-existent O2 sensor and from what I have read should remain unattached. The other 2 I am unsure of, one hangs behind the engine on the drivers side the other currently rests on top of the starter. I have talked with some locals that have done this swap and they tell me that they have the same unattached wires. If necessary I can take some pictures of the connectors and post them.
The car is throwing a light but my old ODB2 reader is unable to work now due to the ODB1 conversion. How do I read the ODB1 codes off the ECU?
PS Im really itchen to drive this thing
