So you moved/removed the wires at the ECU plugs?

KA7_Legend · 05/31/2013, 01:49 AM

Sounds like he only spliced it at the pig tail

And KA7 beat me to what I was going to say...

Put some gear oil over it.. Should fix the problem

Wow you're a fucking idiot. Let's try to keep that convo in the other thread, no need to have you cluttering up the site with your stupid shit.

Apparently because everything I've said so far has been correct I am "cluttering" the site. People saying stupid stuff and stating incorrect info are the ones that clutter shit and confuse people. Not to mention all the retarded shit you guys say on top of that.

TO THE OP.
If you only did the plug side of the wiring to convert it to 2 wire you're not done yet. There is some wiring to be done on the ECU plug as well. This would be why your problem still exists.

Here's your solution. You'll simply need to take care of two wires on your ECU. First one will be moving the A14 wire to the A12 position. Then you'll want to remove the A13 wire and put it aside. Here's some images to help you out with that.

Solid work. Exactly what I figure has not been done.

P.S. I agree with the trans fluid thought as well. Either very old fluid or the wrong fluid.

Nluna94 · 06/11/2013, 11:08 PM

no i didnt mess with any of the wires on the ecu plugs im ussing an automatic wiring harness and there is one pari of wire conneted to a plug in that cant be plugged in to the ecu for a manual but for an automatic it can i believe its mainley transmission wires for the auto tranny but idk but all we did when we swapped it we conveterd the 3 wire iacv to a 2 wire and spliced the wires at the plug in not at the ecu we just plugged it in at the ecu and went for it ...

Nluna94 · 06/11/2013, 11:15 PM

yep bassically this could fix the problem i thought u just had to splice the pig tial end of the wire not ecu wiring ..... ima try this twommrow

TEG_UR_IT · 06/12/2013, 07:58 AM

I may have had a similar issue on my civic dx. I swapped the y7 manifold with a y8 (intake) manifold. Had some erratic idling issues. Got an engine code too but I don't recall what the code was exactly. These are the steps I did and eventually solved my problem. Cleaned iacv, that didn't work. Released the air from my radiator fluid, that didn't solve it. Then I checked for vacuum leaks (hindsight is 20/20) which I should have done from the beginning. I sprayed carb cleaner around my intake gasket, nothing, then sprayed my throttle body and my engine reacted. Turns out autozone gave me the wrong throttle body gasket.

I would check for vacuum leaks if you haven't done so already.

I know this is completely different situation but it caused a similar problem. Good luck

Nluna94 · 06/12/2013, 10:46 AM

And also I do have a vaccum.leak is sucking in.air tremendousley under the air intake aure the cruise control line went.to the solenoid wich lead to the cruis contol itself so idk ima wrkeek on it today and.btw DOES ANYONE KNOW A EASY SOLUTION TO TAKE THE DEPIN THE WIRE FROM.THE ECU PLUG NOT SURE HOW TO DO IT PLEASE HELP

Yes, you take it to a shop or reputable person who does wiring and pay them. That's about the easiest thing I can think of.

Nluna94 · 06/12/2013, 10:55 PM

allrught everybody i did what the write up said and it worked im to excited the engine reved good then went back down and engine light went away i was to pumped i wont lie though it was a bitch to get that wire depined out of that socket it was in took 2 hours saved 100 dollars and got it fixed so thank u to everyone on this post of help and pleed lol i really appreciate it car no longer jerks when i let of the gas or get on the gas it just pulls or flows smoothley when i let off but once again thank u guys the write up was great help stupid proof glad i can get some help from some honda brothers thanks again!!!!
