does anyone know an easy way to get the pins out of an obd1 wiring harness?

I had to hardwire my obd1 harness into my obd0 car because the guy who was going to send me a pm5 for the conversion harness dragged his *** and i have no ecu and have to leave sunday. The motor is a d16z6 and the ecu is a p28.

And of corse a few of the pins are missing from the obd1 harness that NEED to get the car going but I cannot get the ------- pins out of the harness to swap some not-used pins into the holes where i need them!!!!
I found this thread on honda-tech:

but i still cannot get the damn pins out. i managed to get 2 out by accident but that tiny screw driver i was using freaking broke and even then it took me a good 20 minutes of ------- with it to get those out and i'm sure they came out by accident.

also; will the obd1 computer need to be connected to the EGR valve (even though its not connected to anything) to not throw a code? the egr and like 3 major signal wires are missing from the harness and i have like 7 wires left over but i dont want to connect the egr if i dont have to.

finally what about VTEC? if the oil pressure thinger isn't connected will it throw a code or cause the high cam lobes to not engage?
i need to find a plug to connect the oil pressure thing and i figured i'd hardwire the spool silenoid.

those things are bitches to get. If i was you i would go to a junk yard find a Obd-1 car and get a second set of ecu plugs so you can just cut the plug open.

yeah those things are a pain. i say do what 88dx said. much easier on yourself that way. and yes it will throw a check light if vtec and vtec oil pressure isnt hooked up. unless u disable it in the chip using uberdata or some other type of Rom editing program.

yeah about that

i spent all ------- day running around lubbock texas looking for a ------- salvage yard that had any obd0 or obd1 plugs so i wouldnt have to hack up the distro wiring and get the parts to finish the ------- harnes..
WELL....

all i wound up doing was wasting a half tank of gas and get ------- god damn NOTHING from a bunch of fat ------- loser hick cousin ------- douche bag retards that had never heard of honda nor had ANYTHING from 88-95.....
either they were some dumb ------- lazy ******** or west texas bites hard **** (probably both)

so yeah; i'm ------- pissed about that too
no salvage yards around here have anything....

another way u could do it is cut the wires and the njust solder or splice in the new wire...

ComputerJLT

huh? what do you think i've been doing?


the pins where there is NOTHING in the hole is where i need a pin..... there is nothing there to solder too; i need to take out one of my unused pins and put in a hole where it is needed to get the car running; but i can't do that because the ------- pins WILL NOT ------- come out

Are you folding down these on the back of the plug?


I use a mini screwdriver from the front. After a few tries, it gets easier



look through the back with a flashlight, and you be able to see the plastic piece that latches the pin in. Then you'll know what to do with the screwdriver.

yes im folding down the plug

i didnt know it was a plastic clip holding the pin in.

i guess i never looked that closely at the plug; i'll finish up the rest of the wiring today and give her a whirl!
