Default motor swap horror stories

Everybody has them.
I want to hear about the troubles you had, stuff you forgot to do and how you rigged it to work. Stuff like that.


This thread should help a few people down the road with there own swap.

yeah i did, but i dont know how to diagnose that/ how to fix it. I posted a thread here in acura/honda tech but so far, none has replied/helped

here is the problem =
15) Ignition Output Signal - Missing or defective ignition output signal
20) Electronic Load Detector - Defective circuit or unplugged/ Defective sensor

someone please help! i need this car to start.
btw, the car doesnt have fuel pressure or spark. i was thinking maybe problem with the spark is error code 15 and the fuel problem could be fuel pump. the car hasnt been started for god knows how long. 3-4 years so maybe the gas tank needs to be takend down and cleaned. its a crx so i was wondering if i need to take down the tank to change the fuel pump?

please help

Some people just dont have the resources to "fix it properly" and I thought the word "rigged" would bring out some better stories.

I did my first rebuild a couple years ago in my crx. It started out when my radiator had a crack in it and a friend of mine had a spare. We installed it and went for a drive later in the afternoon. During that drive, my waterpump went out and my car overheated and I bent a couple valves. YEAH.... We towed it back to the house, ate some xanax and started the rebuild. You can only imagine what happened next. "Do you remember where we put that" "Do you remember where this bolt goes" and so on... Needless to say, when we were finished we had extra parts all over the place. I am glad to say she ran up until the the swap.
