i need help so bad..... i just bought a 90 crx 1.6 si i got it very cheap but the thing was the interior was gutted and the wirning harness was torn off the old owner was going to yank the motor. so i started hooking up the harness and i got the FI hooked up the alt hooked up and a few misc sensors and things. what i am lost in though is i can not find any wires to go to the starter and there are a bunch of plugs in the harness that i can not find anything to hook them too they just hang there. plus there is a plug coming off the bottom of the distributor that nothing from the harness fits. the engine runs if i can get it hooked up but i am so lost... plus can anyone throw an idea to just bypass using the harness for the starter anyone know how i can just rewire it on my own to a toggle or something like that? any ideas pics or wiring diagrams would be the biggest help

you are using the original harness that he supposedly yanked out. if it is uncut, then, all clips will bolt up only to specific sensors with the exception of the map and tps which are exchangable. the tps should be near the iacv, if you cant tell. been over 5 years since ive touched anything EF related. posting a pix with all sensors and wiring laid out and ill tell you where they all go.

It should just be 1 single red wire and the ground that hooks up to the starter.
