Ive just installed the cpr on my car and its not getting any spark! The power green light, ignition red light and yellow sync light is on so I know my wiring is good. My car is a 97 hatch and Im using 01 civic coils. What is going on here guys please help me out!

 

Are they on solid or are they flashing?

 

The green light is solid green, the red flashes after cranking for 1 sec, and the sync light comes on after 2 secs and go back off.. It comes on again after another 2 seconds.. What can the problem be? You want me to record a video?

 

You probably have it wired wrong.
Post pics of the connections please.

 

As a matter fact I think I did.. I just swapped the 12v and tach wire from the dizzy around. After doing that, I tested the 12v and ground from the coil connections and Im getting power now.. The only thing, is that, the sync light doesnt come on any more.. I posted a picture up of my ecu a few wks ago just to see if I have the q37 transistor, and the guys on here were saying that My ecu has it. Let me post a pic in one sec. EDITED here it is

 

I rechecked all my connections, and I have the purple wire connected to A19 which is ALT AND. Yellow/red wire to A20 ICM. Also, I have 3 other obd1 ecus, and checked to see if the board is different. It all looks the same like the one I have in the picture I uploaded. I'm comparing my ecu board to this diagram, and it looks completely different! https://www.hondata.com/help/cpr/ecu-q37.jpg The ecu board is 02D011F0-1500, A8Y-E incase you're wondering.. I dont know what else to do!


Edit!
Hey guys I got a quick update! After googling around and searching the forums, I got it to work! I read somewhere that another user unchecked "disable alternator control" so I tried that and got it to sync! Thanks H-T!

 

Man its doing it again, I thought having it unchecked would fix the problem.. I was able to get the car to sync again, but while driving it would stop syncing.. Could it be I have a bad batch of the cpr? This is weird, I dont want this thing to go on me while driving. Please help!

 

Make sure you are using an OEM distributor with oem internals.
Make sure you are using resistor type spark plugs with OEM or denso coils, not aftermarket chinese coils.

 

I actually got everything to work correctly! It was my alternator going and one of the wires from the 4p connector (harness that plugs into the alternator) was ripped -__-.. Anyways, I got it to work with the oem 01 civic coils i got for at pick and pull junkyard for $5 :D and let me tell you, I noticed a really big difference!

Thanks for the help guys!

 

how so. ill be doin my cpr in a month or so. been reading on this kit a ridiculous amount. everyone seems so scarce on details of the difference in performance

 

Sorry for the late response, I didn't think anyone would still respond to this but anyways.. Yeah its working fine and still have no problems with it. As in performance wise, I noticed a big difference! Response time is much more noticeable... At the same time, I did have a bad dizzy that gave out orange weak spark, and made impressive numbers on the dyno. I have a feeling Ill make a little more numbers on the dyno!

 

Only one way to find out

 

yea i installed it last weekend. ive only notice a wot difference. which is pretty significant. part throttle or cruise, not so much

 

Same here.. My only guess is that it needs a retune.
