Well today i tryed one more time to wire the detector. I plugged the add-a-circuit in every un used fuse in the interior fuse box. Still nothing. So i tried tapping into the power of my autometer pillar gauges and the gauges worked but the detector didnt.
So i decided to take a break from the interior and went to the engine bay. I unscrewed/disconnected all the wires from the passenger side fender and squeazed them under the exterior fuse box after tugging on the fatest wire to get some slack(not hard at all, just wiggled some slack). Now i didnt cut any of the wires, i just moved them. So i go to tighten the teRminals on the battery. I put the negative on first and then the positive. when i went to tighten the positive the wrench made contact with the terminal and sparks flew everywhere.
I didnt think anything of it and then finished tightening the terminal. I go to start the car and the lights are dim. I rolled down the window and the radio turned off. When i turn the lights on, the tachometer falls to 0 and stays there. The a/f ratio gauge goes from rich to lean and then shuts off. And the windows move real slow.
What do you think happened? Did i blow a fuse? or maye the sparks caused the battery to go bad? or i messed up a conection when i pulled on the wire?
Im just getting ready to get my car on the road and now its messed up.
You had the positive and ground wires going into the single cable coming out of the add-a-circuit... Did you undo that and have the ground go to a grounded point and just keep the positive in the add-a-circuit?

Oh, yes, i fixed that. but the detector isnt hooked up yet though. will it not turn on unless its grounded though?
oh, i plugged it in, turned the car on, if it didnt work i turned it off a repeated the process with a different circuit. But it wasnt grounded which is probly why it didnt work. But im more concerned about the new problem. Where shoud i check for blown fuses? the interior fuse bow of exterior? and is there any particular fuse that would blow or do i check all of them?
how would i check for blown circuits? unplug it and if there is a gap between the fuses then its no good? and if i do find the blown one i just bring it to honda and they replace it?
if it's just blown fuses and you found them, then you can just replace them with an equal fuse. gonna take some time but check all the fuses in the interior and exterior box. if not then you might have melted a cable or two inside a harness or something. my friend did that to his car recently messing with his headlights and now he can't figure out how to make his brakes work.
if that ribbed tubing is your intake... i think the ribs severely impact good air flow
ye, it was a quick fix, a 20 dollar piece of universal autozone intake. I had to sell my v2 intake so i could get injectors. my friend is making me an intake now
oh that's cool. if you relocate the battery to the back you can make your own intake with a pipe they sell at autozone too. it's just curved where it fits the TB but then the rest is straight. relatively ideal intake
