i got this honda civic 96 hatch that has a ecu wiring problem..i got the car as a dx model with a b16 in it..the old engine harness that was already in the car does not have the vtec connectors and they had to make them so that the vtec can work without swaping the entire harness..so im having problems with the old harness.. i bought a new one (engine harness), this harness already comes with the vtec wiring so no mods have to be made, but i dont know how to swap it...i have a general idea but i dont wanna mess up my baby, so is there any websites i can go to so i can be guided threw this electrical nightmare...

Alright I'm gonna get this project started asap. Im gonna start by removing the old harness. I'm taking the ground that's connected to the fuse box and just go from there. Whatever I unplug from old, I'm going to plug in new, one by one. Ill keep u updated.
