- Mon Sep 13, 2010 9:44 am #213378 so i recently hopped on a 92 hatch which i traded for a coupe that i had. so far it has a fresh paint job, okay modern wheels, b16a2 and aftermarket sunroof. i have 3 pictures so far, but i will try to keep you guys up to date on my project.


what it needs
1. a new tranny or rebuild. 2nd and 3rd grind (please give me input on which you think is better.)
2. need a new o2 sensor.
3. fix headliner (not really sure how lol!!)
4. fix speedometer cause it spikes randomly like one of those crazy ballon clowns businesses have in front of their store. and i dont know the cause of that either......
5. vtec doesn't engage all the time idk why! guessing it would be the speedo acting up but not too sure.
6. need an alignment.

thats pretty much all i can think of so far that needs to be done to it. i really dont want to spend money on cosmetic stuff yet because i go to school full time and have a part time job, but that should be no excuse. i'm still learning from reading from everyones DIY and BUILDS, but sometimes i wish i had someone to actually teach me. >_< well enough of my talking here are the pics i will get some up tomorrow in the morning.

- Mon Sep 13, 2010 9:47 pm #213486 well today i woke up and went straight to DMV to get car transfered in my name. and so far so good. i will just have to figure out how to get rid of the check engine light. i got a new o2 sensor, but i dont know how to connect the wires. can you guys give me some input on this?? as far as fixing the car goes i fixed the hatch door that does down because it was showing on my cluster that it open. so i just got another hinge piece and installed. the speedo is still jumpy not sure why either. i have been doing research that the alternator might be bad. i might look into that and go to autozone to have the check it out. here are some pictures.

- Mon Sep 13, 2010 10:29 pm #213491 Hate to say it but upon further looking at it well it seems a bit off first is that headliner all the civic ones ive seen eg at least are like this plasticy pleater substance not felt or cloth like yours. should be like the sunvisors...2 ive never seen so many handle grips but this im not as worried about as your sunroof......

Now as far as im concerned that seems to be an aftermarket sunroof

as there are tabs in the glass and that black box near where the motor would be so not sure about that....I wanted to make sure so i looked up the civic sunroof and this is how they look just clean no black tabs....


So i hate to say it i really dont think thats an SI but its up to the vin to see .....

If you can trace the wires to the shock towers i can tell you which is which as i traced a whole harness and well heres the link so just go to the shock tower where the O2 wires are and then go ahead and figure out whats up there i do beleive it should be the same....

- Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:33 am #214138 so i did the check engine light thing i learned on "honda tech".
http://www.honda-tech.com/showthread.php?t=1901557
so far its throwing:
CODE 6. which is ECT - water temperature sensor.
CODE 10. which is IAT - intake air temperature sensor.
CODE 17 which is VSS - speed sensor.
lastly its throwing CODE 21 which is VTEC spool solenoid valve.

kinda weird that it didn't throw any code for the o2 sensor because its not wired up but the o2 is still in.

i was wondering why my temp gage stays all the way down and doesnt go up unless im at a stand still, but when my car is moving the gage does back all the way down. would the VSS speed sensor also cause the mph to up erratically? like i said before my VTEC kicks in only sometimes, im guessing this would be the spool solenoid??

- Fri Sep 17, 2010 8:36 am #214139 classiccarsrule- would it be reasonable to wait out on the o2 sensor and fix all these other things because my ecu is not throwing any code that deals with the o2. because i might not know if this was the problem or not?

- Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:31 pm #214199 wow man. im real jealous because that looks like a great project. i have a sedan and its alright. i just realized that im going to make that "nice" then by a hatch to do work on. ill just daily drive my sedan.....maybe pick up some grocerys and whatnot. hahahaha

looks great already though and ive realized that posting on this site is one of the best things you can do for yourself when fixing your car. so much knowledge. keep us posted on all your shit man!

- Fri Sep 17, 2010 9:41 pm #214200 dont be jealous man lol. im sure your sedan looks as great as mine. im looking to pick up an ef or crx real soon for a daily so that i can fix the eg while i drive my daily to school and work, but so far i took apart the head liner and driver side pillar. ill take some pictures.
