I can't remember which one was it , and I can't find it in the wiring diagram.
also ,
do I have an oil pressure sensor?

Just bust out a multimeter and find a wire that goes to +12 when the key is turned to the ACC position.
Yes you should have an "oil pressure sensor" the reason I put it in quotes is bc its just a dummy sensor. If the oil pressure drops below 10 psi it will turn a light on for low oil pressure. It however will not read the actual oil pressure at all times.
it's the one on the oil filter base , right?
I cant remember exactly where it is, but it should be on the back of the block somewhere.
almost finished rebuildin an 86 Accord Hatchback .. but then got stuck with a no charging problem. I made a new harness in the engine bay and when I started plugin it the main POSITIVE from the fuse box that goes to the alternator touched the NEGATIVE on the baterry and blew the main 50W . I woder if it damaged something related to the alternator..
doubt it, thats what fuses are for. have you replaced it yet?Originally Posted by ADRIANFARINA
I think there is a problem with the alternator , it's charging between 12.9-13.4
the voltage will fluctuate based on your rpm.
you may want to check if the voltage regulator is still good.
How do I check it? it's inside the alternator..
Hook up the voltmeter to the + an - of the battery, turn on the car, at idle you should have 12 - 13V.
Push the gas and get the rpm up to about 2000, you should have closer to 14 - 14.5V.
Get the rpm up to 3-4000 you should see the voltage does not go past 14-14.5V, if it going higher, the regulator is toast.
When my alternator was getting old and warm out, it would still produce voltage close to 14V, but as soon as you load it (turn on your headlights, press your brakes, radio...) the voltage would drop to 11 - 12V.
I did that checking , I got 12.9 on idle and a maximum of 13.4 on 2000-4000 rpm. how do I know whats wrong.. alternator or regulator..
the alternator, it should be able to supply more, but i would think 13.4v would be enough to keep the battery charged.
if you have another battery, swap this one and check again
This one is brand new..
my friend just had his car die on him, and he thought it was the alternator. turns out he blew a fuse and there was some faulty wiring somewhere. I'd check the engine harness.
my problem was with the belt not tensionet enough...
Hey guys, loving the work here, I have just found it annoying that all the pics are down... any chance you could whack them back up,
or is there a better guide on Weber installations?
The pictures went lost with the picure hosting site..
Bugga, oh well at least i have found the generic walkthrough now, its very handy...
I'll have to post some pics of my own conversion when i get around to it!
Drat, I just found this thread too!
This entire project looks like it was freaking awesome!! You definitely get major kudos from me
I was wondering what you were able to do with the float bowl vent, though. Did you end up hooking it to anything?
