Well after pushing the car home I feel like throwing up. I pushed it halfway, went home and took a break, then went back and pushed it back the rest of the way.

I'd bet that you weren't charging. With the lights on and such in the middle of the night, maybe you killled what little charge you had in the battery.

[Ondonti]

how can I figure out if its charging before i actually run the car?

I did have the feeling that I might not be charging......lights on/etc and I can see why I had that problem.

[Ondonti]

I can tell its charging when the voltage is higher then 12 when running right?

[c2xejk]

I think the charging voltage target is ~13.7...

[Ondonti]

yay Im retarded, I was missing the vac cap on the plenum neck.

Im driving my spirit up to SLC to get a new ECU.

[Ondonti]

Well screw it all........I got a new 5 speed ECU, and I grabbed a P body enginebay harness and engine harness combo.

This looks like a lot better harness :P

[Una]

Awesome. Coulda used that a month ago.. heh.

[Ondonti]

What i love most is having the starter harness. I didnt actually have that......I had a TD starter harness which doesnt really work.

voltage should be 13.5-15ish. it's more efficient to use an ammeter device on the battery wire and measure incoming amperage. Advance Auto can do that and load test the system to see what the voltage regulator and max output is.

Anyone know where I can buy a bosch widebando2 sensor? I killed mine. I have heard maybe I can pick one up at a parts store for a honda.........

[m90daytona]

is it just a plain 4 wire o2?

[Reaper1]

I beleive some Hondas do use a 5wire wideband, but I don't remember which ones...

Check a site like DIY Wideband, I think they even give part numbers...

How is it going Brent? No news is good news I hope.

[Ondonti]

i started installing the new harnesses, then I saw black clouds and it got windy, so I packed up and went inside.
