I have a buddy that works at a Honda dealerand didn't charge me a dime for the diagnostic...Awesome. I was right it turned out to be the Engine wiring harness because the distributor plug wires where cut off and it was making a shi-tty connection. With the road vibrations it was causing to move and then it would stalled. Didn't do the repairs there too much money Labor + Parts a little over 1 grand yeah look for another IDIOT!!!!

Got me a great condition Si Harness uncuton Ebay for 120.00 with delivery and I also know this Vietnamese who is freaking awesome with Honda's. I lost his track for over 3 yrs. But i found him again..He relocated nearby....I left the carcouple ofnights agoat his shop and he will charge me NO more than 200 dollars for labor. I'm glad she will be running fine again

O yeah he will install the harness without removing the engine

Should have done it yourself dude, swapping wiring harnesses is easy as pie. I can do them in like 30 minutes lol.

For your first one, all you have to do is lay the new one over the old one and match up the wires/plugs. Then one by one take off and plug them in. If you do it in the car you may need to pull the intake manifold to make things easier but that's 9 10mm bolts and it slides right off.

I actually just did a friends Rywire harness for him. Took me roughly 25 minutes and his engine bay is a cluster**** compared to an Si engine bay haha.

ya with swaping the harness if you havent done it before those 2-3rear clips can be a HUGE PITA.... hell i had my Z6motor outta the car when i swaped mine and it still kept catching on stuff and thier was the 2 clips that was hard to get out.... but other than that it was realy easy to slap the good harness on the motor.
thier was only 2 plugs that had the same conection near the TB...

but i still say you should have tried to solder the wires.....

but its all good. i can see why you wouldnt want to have that eyesoar and just buy another harness..

HOPEFULLY its all fixed for ya.

Yeah my mechanic installed it without removing the air intake manifold.
