Fun Civic Swap Gone Bad..... HELP Plz!

[JG_H23_CB7]

Hello Fellow Tunerz,

I'm Seeking Serious Help From Everyone, No Suggestion should be ignored.
I'll take any advice that is provide. Here's the Story.
I Bought 2 Honda Civic HB:
1st One is a CX AUTO Power Steering no AC
2nd One is a DX 5 speed No PS nor AC
CX had a Knock, Turns out to be shot bearings.
DX got hit hard, BUt Motor & Tranny are in good condition.
Both cars Started & Drove fine. no Overheating, Just the Knock in the CX motor.
I started the swap with the Motor/Tranny & Engine Harness from the DX All Peddles & Hydro Lines Filled & Bleed.
I thought i could get away with just using the AT ECU to start the motor...
OK I was Wrong...
then i swapped out the AT ECU & replaced it with the MT ECU..... There that should solve that problem.....
No......
Now I can;t get the Key out the Ignition.... AT Lockout.
OK....
Let's Pull the dash off & swap out the Harness Under the Dash!
There, That Should solve that problem

Here's the Problem....
I Already Swapped Over all the Proper Harnesses that belong to that Motor & the ECU... But No Start.

Here are the symptom: When turning the key to "Start" all im getting is The Radiator fan kicking on. that's it.
I Really need all your Professional Opinions....
Thx you all in Advance.

that reminds me of reading up on the a/t to m/t swap you had to do soemthign to the tranny ecu to make it work. The neutral safty switch i think was the problem. I ended up hooking a wire from the battery to a switch to the starter selenoid wire. Put the key to the on posistion and hit the switch. Worked for me.

hehhe, you broke up the name correctly... a BIG SMILEY face for anyone who can translate it without a translator!...

and even harder yet find which song i grabbed it from. it's from a group called die prinzen

AND immeraufdemhund is not the actual phrase, but it's rather close..last word is different...

for an accord leave the shifter crap plugged in..and play with the wires

all i did was short 2 wires on the shifter wires (thickest ones) and vroooom

auto to 5 spd

Here's an update... the car was towed away... "PHail"
These days I'm driving the CD7 with a JDM H22 5spd conversion you see in the sig. I did it all by myself Success!

holy batman look at that sig

[turbo90accord]

Your sig is annoying and WAY too big. It also does not conform to the rules for signature size here on cb7tuner.

On your civic issue, you need to verify that your ecu and any other thing you unplugged are grounded. there is a ground on the thermostate housing that you probably dont have hooked up.

Thanks for the advise.
