I would have updated u guys sooner but i got so much s**t going on in my life right now... i got two speeding tickets within two weeks of each other in two different Accords...but anyways...my hatchie has been sitting on jackstands for close to a month now. The swap is about 90% done. I just need a main relay and a new throttle body (bad tps). Main relay was bad, and the tps had a piece of it broken off (i think thats why it wouldnt shift out of park). The distributor was also wired wrong. It seems there are TWO white wires going to the distributor, one for the igniter and the other for the crank angle sensor. After i got it wired right (thanks to my helms) i tried to start it and it threw a code 4 (crank angle sensor). I got a new dizzy from kragen ($207) put it on and it fired right up...then ran really crappy for a couple of seconds then died. At least it stopped making those popping sounds when it was cranking. Well anyways i hope to finish it up this weekend. After this is all done im gonna write a how-to of my own. And to anyone thinking of doing any kind of swap, GET URSELF A HELMS MANUAL!
