Ok I have a friend who is a mechanic, but he has never had to deal with a "modified" honda.
Here is whats going on..
its a 88 civic hatch, it has had a dpfi to mpfi swap done to it.. I dont know all the details, but this is whats going on so far..
the wiring looks to be ok, but in this swap, they are using and OBD1 or obd2 distributor, and they have re-pinned the main plug from the dizzy.. from obd0 to obd1 or 2... its a gray plug.. I think thats obd2?
he was getting fuel and spark, but the car was not firing.. so I said it was a timing issue.. sure enough timing was off by 5 teeth.. he put on a new timing belt, and now.. he has no fuel, and no spark, and no injector pulse...
when the key is in the ON position, the fuel pump stays running... you know that short 2 second buzz you hear when the fuel pump primes itself... well it just continually does it now...
I think maybe his ecu is wacky... im giving him a pm6 to try.. other then that all i can tell him right now is to go back and check all the ground, re check his timing.. etc..
I would like to put in a obd0 dizzy, but the original plugs are gone...
I need some imput asap..
thanks guys I know Ill get help here!
