Question: Can I still do the swap if I have a SMT?
Answer: Yes, you can. Some additional wiring changes need to be made in order to make it work but we can help you with those changes as well you will need to switch the car over to a manual. The use of the SMT transmission will not work. The parts to make this switch are readily available.
Allow me to rephrase that answer:
"Yes you can. I have no idea how because I've never done it myself so if you just keep throwing money and parts at it that's a start unless of course you want to ship/drive the car to Chicago in which case i will wave my magic wand at it and "presto chango", problem solved!"
Let me just say I'm glad that I have the knowledge and ability to work my way through these issues because as is, if I were a kid trying to get his car running I'd be SOOL.
OP:My issues were/are: Fuel pump not coming on. Solved by installing Bosch relay: double hot from battery grounded to e1 of Honda ECM(fuel pump ground unchanged: relay supplies 12v when gounded by ECM E1). Parasitic drain on the battery: allegedly caused by efi relay being active while key is off.(not solved thus far). Wiring information for 2003 SMT chassis inconveniently unavailable (online) for re/wiring DLC for obd2 althought referring to a 2000 manual wiring diagram there is in fact no green/red wire present on the obd2 DLC pin DLC14.
Almost forgot: Merry Christmas everyone.
