Major Electrical problem. 2002 Accord lx

[Mario]

Hi all I’m new here and I have a somewhat complicated situation. I recently did an engine swap: put an H22(which I rebuilt myself B) ) in my 6th gen accord coupe and did an obd2 – obd1 conversion. At first it only had an issue with high idling, everything else was seemingly okay. The car did, and still does have a CEL. However my car doesn’t seem to have a service connector at the passenger side and I can’t scan using a obd2 tool. I tried a different chip in the ecu, the engine starting to bounce instead of just idling high…then I saw my life fladh in front of my eyes when smoke started to rise from the engine bay. To my dismay it was from the wires and not the exhaust. So that’s where im at. The wiring harness starts burning after a minute of running, I believe it may be linked to the distributor since all other gause work except the tach, I open up the distributor and changed the icm but still no rmp signal and I cant check the code. I am in desperate need of help with this. Anyone wirh any good advice please chime in.

The condition of the battery effects all other electrical circuits on the vehicle. However I’ve never heard of one having a problem like that.

That said, this may help you with the idle issues.
