i'm trying to figure out a couple of things about wiring vtec. i've searched, but haven't quite figured it all out yet.
i have a complete wrecked 95 gsr, so any gsr parts i need to use, i have available. the motor is in my 93 civic dx coupe, and it runs. i ran wires to the vtec solenoid and purge valve and the knock sensor with no problem. i found the two wire connector for evap purge power and solenoid on my gsr harness, and i'm working on hooking that up as well. 2 things i do not understand:
can i run a wire from a17 (iab) at the ecu to the cannon plug, since i'm using the gsr harness? if so, is the cannon plug wiring a different color than pink/blue, like it is at the ecu? i cannot find a pink/blue wire on my gsr engine harness at all. in the gsr, i found the pink/blue wire at the ecu, but not at the cannon plug. what do i do, is it a different color? do i run a wire from a17 on the ecu straight to the iab, bypassing the cannon plug? if so, i can do that, but i'd like to know for sure.
question 2, evap purge power just needs a 12v power source, what is the recommended place to get that from? use and empty pin on the ecu, tap into another wire, or run it to my fuse box under the steering column?
i've read dozens of links, but haven't found one that addresses these problems specifically. any help would great!
