wont matter if u have it in neutral, the switch isnt oing to recognize the car being in neutral and wont start

 

[tuner04civic]

sorry i misread your past post. i should start my car in 1st and activate the clutch.


So from what im understanding on an auto if you try to turn the car off in drive or anything but neutral and park you cant remove the key. thats why my key wont come out. so im going to ground pin 10 to make it believe i am in park so i can remove my key when i want to.

now pin 7 is the clutch safety switch. if i ground that switch it would allow me to start the car up. i may be wrong im trying to get a grasp on this as i go.

u got it, 7 will enabel the car to start

whats the price range of a k20 engine... e bays version was between 2500-6000K is there anywhere where i can find it cheaper?

k20a.org is the best place for motors. i would not trust ebay. on k20a.org there are several sellers on there who are trustworthy and know what there talking about. also make sure you get what you need from them. some will not include everything and you have to pay more for other parts.

and no worries i wont be banned, lol.

yeah it locked my key in place and wouldnt let me start it. i think the immobilizer is the most likely reason why for that. unless im wrong but seems like hondata is needed to even start our cars swapped

yes u have to have kpro or rsx s ecu then u need ot reflashed by a dealership and tow ur car so they know its not stolen. ur car wont work til u get kpro.

 

[tuner04civic]

yeah i was planning on k pro but wanted to wait til i got her started but seems like i need it now. at least i got all the problems worked out hopefully.

 

[SHG_James]

as long you have the neutral safety switch grounded the car will start. if you didn't flash the immobilizer on the rsx ecu it will start but will die shortly after.

did you figure out why the key cant come out?

 

[tuner04civic]

yeah im figuring it was because of the neutral safety switch. the car thought it wasn't in park so it wouldn't let me remove the key. im going to ground it tomorrow.

 

[SHG_James]

let us know how it goes. make it much easier when i do my kswap

 

[Supafil25]

i think it might be the clutch pedal sensor. so you need the clutch pushed in to start the car.
but what ecu are you running?

 

[tuner04civic]

ill be sure to update as i go.

im running the rsx-s ecu off a 2003. but the k pro i know will remove the immobilizer. if i ground the clutch wire going to the sensor i believe i would be able to start the car up. just wont have to engage the clutch. but ill find out tomorrow. i dont want to jump too far ahead of myself.

ok so i was thinking about the intake manifold cover and decided to paint it and see how it would look on the car. the before shot isnt mine but the after is. did the same method that i did to my ps pulley. it still has to dry.

Win. I'm usually not a fan of those IM covers, but I think that'll look good. Red VC, right?

 

[tuner04civic]

yeah its a red valve cover and some other pieces are black. car is magnesium and hood is c/f so should blend in im hoping.

 

[Unevolved]

Yeah dude I think that'll look swell.
