Thanks BigDan! I have been working off of incomplete civic hatchback diagrams. I checked out the cost of buying from Rock Auto (I’m in Canada). And with shipping I can get the factory manual for $80. But your right – do I keep it? I’m stubborn. So I’ll stick with him till he kills me, L.
Mostly, I am wondering if I’m missing something obvious about removing loads and how that may have effected the engine performance after? I suppose proper diagrams will show me how the circuits are related and how the power moves. Maybe I nudged something related to the throttle I am unaware of? I mean to follow the idle troubleshooting FAQ here.
I think I need to find that short. If the fans were working before I removed loads and then had to replace two fried components after, well, maybe I should stop replacing components?
I am totally overwhelmed. I really just want to take it in, but cannot afford it!
