ok so i have my DE in and runnin but i have some problems so to start my knock sensor pugs didnt match each other (from the harness to the DE) so i cut off the conecter and wired it to it, so i thought but when i ran my error coeds it came up so when i wired it up there is a wire that raps around the other wires in side the sleve i thought they were two seperate sensors wires am i wrong?or ar they two?

i am runnin my DE of the y-pipe of my ebay headres is that the reson my idle is rough do to no backpressure but its fine above a thousand?

and on my old engine i had a sensor that ran down my the dip stick the about were the crank is but my DE dosnt have one but im runnin the camshaft seonsor error as well is that the sesor?

and if for my exshast when i gets done soon if i use a glass pack from candain tire, a dual shamber muffler,2.5inch pipen will it be loud?

on my new TB the two nipples ar different and i dint look at the way the line were set up does the one from the coolent neck go to the fornt or back nipple?

and im am only runnin one coolent sesor right now my green plug but its a black sesor plug and my fans wont come on till about 1/4 way heated up and kicken faster when it reachs runnen temp it seems i thought they were always supose to stay on?

To answer your exhaust question, it will be stupidly loud. Run a hi flo cat, a loooong resonator to tone down the civic drone and rasp.

Ok, the 3 wire plug that goes around near the dipstick is the crank sensor IIRC. The other, which is a 2 wire plug that is right in the middle of the engine, (that's where the wire comes from) is the knock sensor. On my ZE the plug can either be on the left or right of the engine, depending on the year and type of engine (k8, ZE, DE etc). You only need to chop the cable ties to free up this plug.

The crank plug with 3 wires should have wired up the same. I know that in my ZE and my K8, both the crank sensor plugs had the same colour wires and were in the same position. Mx3 is a 1995 and the ZE is a 1993. So not sure how the wires were different on your DE?

i know were the sesors are and i have moved the knock sesor wire to the left when i had th IM off. i tried to wire the other plug to it so that it would work on the harness and look stock and my crank sesor was not there but i pulled the oneoff my K8 and out it on.
