Bet i gots the oldest cb7????

[snailin91]

had a check engine light pop on, went to use the natorious jumper plug on the pass kick panel,,,, nothing there. checked the door tag,,, 8/89... holly crap,,, i had to pull the carpet back to check the "blinky red dot" on the ECU... good god,,, i have one of the very 1st 3000 accords offered in the cb7 body style....

WHOOT WHOOT FOR THE OLD FART!!!!

[turbo90accord]

me too but most 1990's were built in 89 so....

[fatboy1185]

you know how ITR's have a production number? does accords also?

[d112crzy]

Having an old car isn't something really worth bragging about, Charlie.

ITR's don't even really have a production number, it was a marketing gimmick they did for USDM ITR's. So out of 15000 ITR's yours may be #00001 USDM R but it could have been the 1000 one made. Theres no real way to tell the badge number by the vin, just teh production number of any DC2 integra made.

sauce

And to the OP, could you PLEASE provide a picture, cause I've always thought this was just a myth. Are the ECU plugs obd0 too?

[snailin91]

thats actually one of my main conserns.... im thrown the swap in next weekend! my doner is an OBD1, and now my car is, as far as i know,,, OBD nuthin.... guess i'll find out next weekend...

and i was under the understandings that if the production date was prior to October, then its not considered the next year... so in essance, my car truely is an 89 right???

an hell yeah im braggin,,, that old, and aint been totaled yet.... come-on,, gots to be worth somtin (figuritivly speaking)...

[accord4thgen]

I think its still OBD1 though

[cp[mike]]

a whole bunch of the 1990 PT3's had a blinking red dot, but all CB7s were OBD1 and had a CEL jumper plug. you just didnt look hard enough.

I always thought that to be the truth, but I never knew some early 90's pt3's had teh red dot... Were they all a1's in 90, or did the EX rock the a4 like the 91's?

edit:found the answer.

[cp[mike]]

side note, once they stopped installing the red LED, in the run following it, they still left the place on the circuit board for it, and it functions normally if installed... ive tried it and it works... ACCLUDE91 made a thread on it.


not to bust ur bubble bec 8/89 is pretty damn old... but its not special lol

[blackice]

hey charlie my old lx had the 8/89 thing too lol, the back of my gauge cluster had that date on it too and the part number was actually sm1 instead of sm4

[snailin91]

knowin that Cory, makes me feel better abouts the swap. but i have to hold off for a bit longer,,, i want a new clutch n light flywheel, n cams w/ full pully kit b4 i put it in... just alots eaiser that way....

[owequitit]

Go look again for the plug.

I am sure by this point in time there are very few with the jumper plug untouched.

It should be taped to the wiring harness right by the glovebox, just as you look up. But it is black tape on a small blue plug, so it is hard to see if you aren't staring right at it.

Also, mine was built in June of 1990, and I still had the LED on my ECU.
