New B18 Swap Dizzy Not Lining Up

By 99cx
- Thu Apr 15, 2010 1:55 am #187770 Okay just swapped in a B18 in my CX
go to start it and it clicks, so i thought my battery was toast.
got the jumper cables and tried again.
now only my dash lights and e brake lights and stuff comes on
no engine, oil or battery lights flash when turned to the on position?
but i did it the first time before?

i guess a have a wiring issue... but where and how?
anyone have any ideas? i turn the key over and i get my main relay clicking and i hear one from the under dash fuse panel too.

What a bummer on first start up! :x

Sounds dumb, but i've seen this happen a bunch, one ground from the chassis to the trans and the cars all fired right up.

- Thu Apr 15, 2010 3:45 am #187799 well only have a exhaust manifold and downpipe on it right now
would that cause Code 3 and 5 Manifold Absolute Pressure

and also i have a P75 installed.
would that be the Code 0 and 11 Electronic Control Module (ECM)

- Thu Apr 15, 2010 3:40 pm #187921 alright i tried to switch the plugs but it didnt have enought length to reach the other sensor so it must be right.

anyways then i bought new wires and tried again, still nothing
that ECU fault code is gone but still have 41.

not sure what is is now?
