Hell yeah. I got the map hooked up and changed the PM6 ECU for the PG7 and the CEL went away(Imagine that). I wish I would have done that before I drove it out here. It still didn't have the power it should have though, so I decided to check the cam timing, since the genius that told me the motor was a 2.0 Prelude installed a timing belt on it. Sure as ----, the ****** was off a tooth. I wonder if that's why it has no *****? I'm sick of working for the day. I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

Good luck with the project man, sounds like you have your work cut out for you. Gotta love previous owner *** clowns who totally screw up a good car.

Thanks guys. It's going to take alot of work and alot of "WTF is that?", but I love ---- like this to tell you the truth. Taking something with so many problems and making it perfect is a good feeling.

I know I could have found one for cheaper if I would have waited around for another couple months or so, but I was sick of waiting and this one was staring me in the face screaming "BUY ME!!!".

I have to thank youngbuckfab for findign it. Thanks man.

hey dr. boost, i know what you mean with the wiring. when i bought my car, the horn was unhooked, the srs was unhooked, the power windows were unhooked, i took out 5 lbs of wiring from the alarm (i weighed it in the bathroom, that does not include the alarm box either ) I had to rewire the power windows, the power mirrors were hooked up though (god knows how important to be able to adjust the mirror without leaning over ) The ac in my car had this huge *** red wire going to the fan and to a relay, and it was half *** hooked up. (I have no idea how it worked considering half the wires were just leading out to open ends??

I definately know what you mean by even though all that work, it is still fun. The person I bought the car knocked off the price becuase all that stuff did not work.

And, the engine, the vtec solenoid was not hooked up, and wrong ecu.. wow what were the honda mechanics thinking in florida?

I had the mono wiper thing going too... i kinda took them off to paint them, and i broke the driver wiper, stupid p.o.s. But then i got to the junkyard and got some new wipers, but not installed.. you gotta love the project cars though. Nice to see you got something to work with
