    easily the most overlooked solution is:

    after reading most of the threads reguarding loss of power, engine cutting out, rough idle, and other general electrical problems, etc. i noticed that that no one had mentioned the possibility of a faulty or inadaquite ground system as being the problem. if you dont have a good ground, you sure as shit arent going to have any good circuits. you will have loss of power and spark, as well as random stalling, and trouble starting. try adding another ground from the neg. terminal to the valve cover or the block. oh and dont most if not all hondas have sumtin like 7 nessary grounding points on the engine/tranny? check them all! and if you have the time and the $$ it wouldn't hurt to replace all the ground wires. guarenteed it wont hurt.

    Hey I like that idea but do u have somin that shows were they are all at cause my engine is wired (jacked) up. The guy who replaced it clipped wires and half of my connectors is not even hooked up to anything so i dont know what is missin.

    hey would you happen to know of a site that has that same diagram for 91 honda accord ex.

    I need a few answers for my few questions that I am about to ask. This accord had a replaced engine in it and I like a fool was kool it will be road ready but NOT. Well anyway I have been searching the web and all the forums but seems to me everyone has 80s hondas no 90s. I need help with \
    C:\Documents and Settings\aaron\Desktop\car wires.JPG1) How and were can I buy a complete wiring setup for my engine. The retard who replace the engine cut wires and most of them are not even hooked up.
    2) I bought a brand new battery and checked out my fuel pump (tested it after pulling it out) and it works just fine replaced all my fuel filter, injectors, and that stuff but it seems to me like there is not enough fuel or air to keep the car at a idle.
    3) I wanted to know if my car is losing power, meaning I can start it up once then shut it off, turn it back on but now I have battery light on, trouble cranking, is this because of the battery not having power or is it a grounding problem, altenator, distributor cap. Im not sure but can someone lead me somewhere close. I have some pics of the wires situation.

    Same problem with the 80's accord if you remove a ground, it starts and dies.

    You're fuel injected , most US spec 1990 accords came with EFI. Euro spec Accords had a Carburetor as well.

    www.CB7TUNER.COM should have more answers for 90-94 accords.

    On the thermostat housing.

    Radiator brace to valve cover.

    I ended up adding a 4 gauge from the cylinder head where the hose bracket was near spark plug #4 to the battery because all I was running was ignition. Everything else was already wired seperatly like the fuel pump and such.

    theres a hidden one,it grounds the control box for the carb,and I believe it's computer too. loosen the two screws holding the control box up,unplug the two electrical connectors on the left side of the box,and pull the box out of the way,you don't need to disconnect any vaccume lines. where the wires come out of the inner fender,you'll see a black wire with a grounding lug on it. check this terminal to make sure it's clean and not corroded,I would reccoment getting some silicone dialectric grease, you can use this on all ground points to prevent corrosion. this is the same stuff you use on light bulb contacts to prevent corrosion. the control box pulls straight up by the way,theres a slide that is the bottom mounting,it will just lay to the side. if this ground is bad it will cause a carb car to do all kind of crazy stuff since the solonoids in the box will have a bad ground point.
