Kegger Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 Youe can't because the ECU in the car right now won't recognize your dizzy. No matter what you do it won't work. You need the whole harness, distributor, and ECU for it to even think about starting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted November 22, 2006 Share Posted November 22, 2006 you could prolly change the pinout of the dizzy so the wires were run to thier proper places to the ecu , but its still not the right fuel map for that car. even if you get that ecu to run that engine , it will never run good.

STYLESABU Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 you will need the right controler(ecm) for that engine.but your engine should still crank.that signal comes from the ignition switch through neutral saftey or clutch switch to starter.i went through 2 ign switches in my 91 civic in 175000 miles.

cranny Posted November 27, 2006 Share Posted November 27, 2006 if i had the car in front of me , i could prolly get it running , but its hard without seeing. does the car have power when you turn the key to on position? does the engine light come on for 3 seconds than go out?
