spudley1988 Posted March 11, 2013 Share Posted March 11, 2013 Hey guys, this weekend my mate removed my old mb3 d15z6 engine and replaced it with a lower mile D15z6 from the hatchback. Everything was pretty much the same just the odd few bits here and there were needing swapped over eg engine mount. However i Managed to break the speedo sensor and the engine management light is coming on. Would the light come on due to the speedo not working and would that sensor stop V-tec working? Any help would be greatly appreciated. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyekye09 Posted March 12, 2013 Share Posted March 12, 2013 dont know if it helps but when i got the wifes deck it stopped engaging vtec due to a faulty throttle position sensor(engine light came on) and have since found out vtec works of throttle position and oil pressure i swapped the tps reset the ecu and it has fixed the problem Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
spudley1988 Posted March 12, 2013 Author Share Posted March 12, 2013 That could be a huge help ill pass that onto me mate. A few people have said that v-tec will not be working due to the vehicle speed drive being broke but those saying this have had no masses of knowledge so i came to the pros .

spudley1988 Posted March 14, 2013 Author Share Posted March 14, 2013 Managed to get one, D14Z4 mb was correct fitting yet the D16 mb was different lol, crazy. Only cost a 5er though which i was over the moon at as honda were looking at a good bit over 100 quid. Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
