    Default b16 fuel problem

    alright... so i have a b16 in my 95 civic. it has horrible gas milage. i think getting a map sensor will help that out significantly. but there isn't any plug for it in the harness. i'm guessing i have to wire it directly to the ecu which doesn't sound like any fun. any help would be greatly appreciated.

    how is there not a plug for the MAP sensor? that makes no sense at all. hell, how are you running it without a MAP sensor? I guess, if there really isn't one, which honestly doesn't sound right to me, just find a pinout of your ECU, run the wiring to the proper place in the ECU plug and go to town...

    any idea which ecu you're running? I have a lot of pinouts saved on a CD from doing swaps and stuff, so I can look and see if I have it, depending on which ECU

    OK, the map sensor is on pin d17...it should be a pink and white wire, and then I attached a diagram of the plugs for ya.
