ok my homie we got a running honda....though u gonna be mad when u find out what it was...u know that resistor we checked for the injector power, well since i didnt take the car apart when i started putting the stuff that i hadn't done back together i switched the source for this and one right next to it looping the source back through the system. its running though i did find that one of the collant sensors is broken the one under the distributor and when i got the car the wires had been pulled outa the harness for the o2 sensor so i got 4 wires that need a home

hope u not too frustrated, it was an honest mistake, especially since i didnt dismantle this area and the plugs are the same and close enough to switch which generally they make ones close together a diff harness so this doesn't happen

I'm glad you got it running. Some of those electrical tests were giving strange results, so I'm glad you figured it out.

Were the wires pulled from plastic connector for the O2 sensor, or on the side of the engine wire harness? what are the wire colors?

The two black wires will go to the two wires on the O2 sensor that have the same color (likely black). The order should not matter.

Then you will have a 50/50 chance at the white and green wire.

btw thanks for sticking with me on this, i feel much better now that its running and i might not have figured it out had we not been testing all these things, i woulda just kept on thinking that i had done all the setup work right...this just goes to show that if you are going to endeavor on working on a car that someone has already worked on its hit and miss sometimes with the rebuild of something you didnt take apart and are not familiar with...though i feel good about the things i did and glad i learned some things
