ok i wire tucked my race car and when trying to have it tuned hondata would not stay connected for more than 5 seconds. I was told that some power wires were setting off trigger wires not letting hondata stay connected. Have you guys run into this problem?? and what did you do to fix it? thanks guys

 

ttt this is s300 by the way

 

If the s300 was functioning normal before, it sounds like a noise issue with the wiring in the vehicle...

 

i did a tuck on my race car and when i went to get it tuned it would not run wit 1000cc injectors i tried 4 sets of injectors and 4 different resister boxes nothing and i threw some saturated 750 and it runs great but i need to get 1000 and i have no clue whats going on

 

yea its picking up noise from some power wires. i need to find something to wrap it in to stop making the noise. or ideas so i dont know

 

"wire tuck" cars are the worst. nothing but problems. they always have noise issues, and do weird things that they shouldn't.

Also make sure it is far away from ANY type of CDI style ignition. Connectivity problems will result if it is near any high power ignition box.

 

lol m&w is right above the harness. i might have to move that lol thanks for the advice you guys

I would agree with this statement only if the person doing the tuck didn't extend & re-use the shielded/grounded wires that cam one the vehicle stock. There are at least 4 or 5 ground shielded wires that probably get neglected. That could definitely cause these problems.

Do you still have the stock harness or is your wiring completely custom?

If you still have the stock harness there should be a bit of ground shielded wires that you can use. My stock harness had lots and I'm reusing it all and extending some of it on the tuck that I'm working on right now. Most of it is only shielded coming through the fire wall to the ECU. But where you have done your own custom tuck job. You may have a power wire running next to a signal wire from further out into the bay???? You'll have to check what wires you have running next to each other.

X3.. what a good way to f-up any car.

 

^^ i used the stock harness and i did it myself and i don't recall removing any shielding and im thinking that the m&w may play a part in the noise also.
tomdata thanks for the negative comment

 

sorry buddy. not trying to be negative. its just that this keeps happening over and over again with wire tuck cars. I just don't understand why you guys do it?

yea i did it and i regret it now i gotta re do the whole thing oem* is best

 

mount the M&W box in the engine bay.

 

^ i think i might do that

 

ok last night i basically moved the harness back to its stock location and it connected the longest it ever has. and then stopped so i think im gonna add some more grounds to the harness. cause this is really pissing me off. if you guys have anymore ideas let me know thanks

100% Cosmetic. I think some of them "look" pretty good, But judging from alot of the questions asked on the thread, most guys doing them have NO IDEA about wiring.

You'll see the same few guys on the thread answering the same novice questions to 112323 different people.. Scary for the people/shops that at some point will have to trouble shoot these cars..
