Does anyone know if I can use my stock 96 accord lx wiring harness, with a h22a engine. I know I have to run a wire for the v-tec solonoid, but other than that, I need to know if I can use my stock wiring harness, to work with the h22a swap. People told me they done it before, but I wanted to double check with you guys, so if any knows, I would greatly apprecite it.

You're not gonna like this answer, but the answer is yes and no.

You can use the part of the car harness that goes from the ECU to the engine bay. That can all stay intact with the exception of the 4 wires needed for VTEC (bypass-control solenoid, VTEC pressure switch, VTEC solenoid, and knock sensor) which you can just add pins to the existing ECU plug for those things. As for the harness that's under the hood, none of the plugs match up with the H22 so you need to re-wire it. All the same wires as the F22B are in the H22 motor harness, but they won't plug into the stock Accord plugs which is where the re-wiring comes into play. When it comes to H22 swaps, there is no way arounf having to re-wire every single wire that goes to the motor. It's nor difficult, just very time consuming.
