alright guess i have a clarion headunit and its been running fine for about 2 years now ive been wanting a volt me to check everything just to have to make it a little better in car shows
now ive been doing dumb posts and ive researched all night and picking my brain at this but heres what i did
i took a sunpro volt meter like this one http://www.buyscheaper.com/buy-cheap-sunpro-cp8215-styleline-voltmeter-black-dial-special-price/
and what i did was hook it up to the power and ground on my headunit using 18 gauge wire now while i was installing it and BEFORE i mounted it under my dash i went to test it and everything was great and nothing was going wrong then i put my headunit back in and bolted it back in place and checked it again and it worked great again
heres whats puzzling me after i screwed the mount in for some reason nothing works my headunit nor the volt meter will work and i have been picking my brain for the past 3 hours trying to figure this out someone please help cause show in 3 days and i need it working again even if the volt meter doesnt work i need my sound thanks

b16's and b18's are 4 cylinders... b16a2's came out of 1999 and 2000 civic si's and b18's came out of integra's usually. most likely the motor in the car is a d17a2 which is pretty close as the same motor in the older 96-00 civics. other than the fact of .1 liters of displacement they have close to the same hp and torque. which is 127 hp and around 110 ft/lbs of torque. (motor hp, not wheel)
alright thanks man im thinking tomorrow ill be test driving it and im going to take it to a friends place and look thru EVERYTHING
-
Oh well at least that's a good excuse do you know what motor it has like b16 b18 vtech non vtech.
no i believe he said it was a 4 cyclinder and my brother owns his own garage and can do an engine swap in like 3 hours flat hes a monster when it come to engine swaps
-
Did you ever go look at it?
not yet the people selling it were having another kid well when i pulled up the guy wasnt there so i called him and his wife was in labor
-
any updates? theres one down the street from me, black with 17s on it pretty clean...
whats price on it man i think it would survive a 3 hour trip plus i can come look at the jimmy

when you take it for a test ride, instead of shipping from 2nd to 3rd, go from 2nd to 5th and floor it. if the car wants to bog down and die, then shift it back into 3rd. if the rpm's jump up, then the clutch is starting to go
make sure you do this test! that's the only addition I have to this thread. everybody else was on the money
ive definitely heard that test and it looks in good condition ive already been under it and its ben dropped an inch i can tell that ill be test driving it soon so ill keep everyone posted
-
ive already found one man i just want to know what could go wrong on it and that is in Minnesota thats a 2 day drive for me i cant do that for a car
-
pop the hood check for over spray in case it has been wrecked. make sure no grinds when going into gear and tranny shifts smooth. check all fluids to make sure there all full. make sure the antifreeze doesnt have any additives in it like there trying to hide a head gasket leak. you will notice if its really dark and slimy. just all around check it over and get on it a little bit make sure the engine sounds good and pulls good. you will hear a noise similar to a lifter knock but its the fuel injectors they are noisy at least on the older motors
thank man ill def looking at all that stuff tomorrow well i mean today but yeah ill update on this tomorrow when i actually test drive it i really like cause ive always wanted a standard and civic are easy to work on
-
ill check everything tomorrow when i go and see the owner
