Unhappy Did slightly modified FCD

Just finished installing home-made FCD (original how-to by Paul Stoaks). According to his how-to, the FCD connector has all four wires (12V, 5V, Ground, Signal). When I disconnected mine ('92 TII) I only found 3!! (5V, Ground, Signal), so I had to take the 12V from somewhere else. Now I dont actually get 12V but 13,5V when the engine starts. Could this prove to be a problem, or am I OK ???

Hey man, sorry to get your hopes up with a response but I just wanted to say 'Hi!' I was bothering people on the hondachat forum about CRX's until I came to the disappointing conclusion that all of the CRX's for sale in my neck of the woods are barely rolling pieces of ****.

So now i'm looking at RX-7's... I SWEAR I'm not stalking you.

Who was that chick you were with lastnight... not that I looked through your window or anything...

I think you will be fine. When I checked voltage on my RX-7 last i got 13.5 on some things that were supposed to be only 12. No problems at all.

Hey pikawel, dont sweat it When I wanted to buy a "new" car, I was torn between a 95 CRX, a 97 Civic VTi (DOHC) and the Rex. The CRX was not in perfect condition, and the Civic...well, it was a Civic. No comparison whatsoever...

As for stalking me, hehehe you must have one hell of a pair of binoculars, because I'm half the globe away

And supergoat, yep, no worries about the voltage, just checking on the reliability of the circuit. Asked Paul about his experience with similar situations, and he said "dont sweat it" as well, so...
