well i just finish doing a swap with my freind he had a 2000 gsr and desided to order a 96 jdm itr engine.We did the swap got the ecu adapter put a chip ecu and now we are getting a checkengine light.Also when it revs up to about 6000 its starts jerking and shuts off.I can't get any codes out of the jdm ecu but if i put the gsr one i get 1337 and 1259 and i cant fine what those are .PLEASE SOMEBODY HELP!!!!!!!!

 

Cel Code 1259 is a problem with VTEC. p-1259 is "VTEC system malfunction. Cel Code 1337 is (RPM) Fluctuation Sensor No Signal. Here is a list of the ECU Codes.

Hope that helps, somewhat.

 

ok well thats a start thanks for the help man am going to get at it

 

exactly how did you wire vtec?

 

well i didnt wire the vtec being that it was a gsr so it alrady had the plug. but what is funny is that a plug in a code scanner and ran the car and it ran fine then i took the scaner off and the car started having problems again.the vtec wont kick in with out the scanner being hook up and it sputters can somebody help!!!!!

 

I have a JDM GSR in my EK and ran into the same problem. The JDM engines are actually missing a sensor on the vtec solenoid. That is why the JDM ecu can't isnt pulling anything up. I jus replaced it with the USDM solenoid. I am not sure what the other code was but I know for my swap we had to cut a wire and combine it with another sensor for the crank sensor. My car now has no cel's on.
