First off, the motor that I had originally bought, which was a 6 Speed motor, was crap, there was no compression on any of the cylinders. So I had to swap it out with another motor from an auto, but luckily I was smart enough to remove the necessary sensors and harnesses to make the engine a manual engine.
After that I installed the new motor and everything else for like the 5th time, and the son of a bitch started. I was so freakin happy. At first it was in safe mode and I thought that it must have had to do with my timing, but it was my idle air control valve. So I swapped throttle bodies, and it ran perfect. No jumping rev, and vtec like a motherfucker. It feels great to drive this car, I cant even describe the feeling, I want to race everybody. lol.

I found my notebook where i did some of the doodling with the different wires. I can scan it for you, but i dont know how much will be the same with you having a 99.
Good work kris. Its well worth it. Wish i was closer to come give a hand

Hey kris (mod), the auto sensors, question.. the countershaft and speed shaft sensors.... Although they put out a different signal than the MT sensors, if i were to insert those two sensors into the MT, do you think anything could possibly work to get v-tec, or at least a reading off the speedo? I mean, would the sensors be too big? Look at this pic from richie's post back when he was doing the harness for the 6MT:
what do you think? If you want, i'll take pics of the sensors that come out of the CL-S tranny and compare with the 4AT sensors.

Well it's usually spotless so it looks weird to me

We've got the car mostly back together and running, but when you start it, it just shoots up to 3K RPMs. We've cleaned out the IACV and still can't fix the idle. We're going to check all the vac lines for a leak and see if that fixes it.

Well, we just got back from the drive and everything feels great. The clutch is going to take some getting used to (it's very touchy compared to my old Civic). You can REALLY feel the Innovative mounts through the whole car. At a certain point of pushing the gas down (under load) you can feel the whole car shake but you can definitely feel it getting the power down better.

looks real good kris! sounds like you might need a new sensor in the IACV (bummer). on a side note have you fully bleed the cooling system for air? I had a bouncing idle on an accord because there was air in the cooling system. looks like you need to clean the air filter, and adjust the e-brake lol. nice work.

Yea, the IACV is definitely shot. I'm going to pick up a new one but this one can work for the time being. Why do you say I need to clean my air filter and adjust the parking brake?
Here's a video of it starting -- http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sdp-g0K5x2Q
I'll post up some more when I get home from work
