god damnit. well my ****** box isnt getting power now.. wtf. no led or anything i checked the wires and im gettin all ground except for 1 which im not getting anything. ive tried reseting ecu, checked fuse.. everything wtf is going on.. put dataloggin on it for a few hours this morning.. it was workin fine.. wtf

BoostedH23a1

well i dont have any power to any of the 4 leads off the ecu.. that mean ecu is shot?

BoostedH23a1

i have power going to the ecu..

BoostedH23a1

guess ill start lookin for another p72 in the mean time..

BoostedH23a1

would someone of the 61 people that looked at this give some imput

DR. ON POINT

does the led blink?

qwklude82

i'm also having trouble with my hondata...My CEL keeps coming on and the hondata light is blinking. John told me that I need to just wiggle it back on, but the thing just keeps on coming loose or the connection is bad(I also have the p72)...Does anyone else have this problem?

DR. ON POINT

here is a thing that might posible work to "reset" the ECU

hold the shift button down, turn car on, run for 1 minute, turn car off, take finger off button

When the hondata is blinking it is not being connected.... pull out the ECu take the cover off and make sure its still clipped in

Make sure nothing is restricting the wire...... etc....
Check ur ******* connectins!

Doodoo

Don't worry dude. It sounds like a connection soldering problem. Try Dr. On Point's suggestions. I had a hell of a time trying to get my system bug free. I did eventually.

DR. ON POINT

Which box do u guys have... The old silver one?

BoostedH23a1

man ive tried everying besides shittin on the bastard... hmm wonder if poo is a conductor.. aha jk..

i get NO led what so ever.. it was workin fine like 5 hrs ago.. i dont know wtf is going on.

BoostedH23a1

all the sodered connections are fine.. which prong has power to it on the CN3 thing
is it 1,2,3, or 4 that has power... do the rest have ground? man wtf is going on.

BoostedH23a1

godmanit now i havbe to get another ECU and order more **** from hondata (they already have me for 800).. so then i can soder more **** into my p72 and have it fry a few days later again.. should of went aem.. god im a ****** tard

DR. ON POINT

how u know its ur ECU?

No point of bashin Hondata.... y dont u call them and try and figure it out, they will work with u........ u got any friends u can swap hit out to see what the problem is?

BoostedH23a1

i think it is the ecu not the hondata.. im just saying i have over 1500 into this setup thats why im pissed off it fried the ecu.. i think at least.. how can i check ecu.. i dont have anyone with civics or tegs.. all them have rx-7 and supras and **** like that.. to test ecu i have to buy p72 and resoder all that bullshit..

simple4012

nothing starts and runs a honda like a stock honda computer. thats why hondata works. Im willing to bet that ya soldering isnt good enough and maybe it was loose. It can hapen. just check everything out and then call the dealer you got ya stuff from. tell them whats up and see if they can help. If not call hondata....dont point fingers when ya not sure.

DR. ON POINT

send ur **** to Hondata.... call Doug... i spoe to him when I ha a issue, he cleared it right up...... extremely nice guy and he has a cool acccent

Doodoo

Check for 5V between pins 1 and 3 on the ECU. I think one is ground(black). I have the newest blue box. I tried to solder my own ECU and ended up frying it. I felt the same way as you dude, I was SO frustrated. Then my datalogging sucked, cut J12, all good. Then my laptop-serial connection sucked bad. Got the Key Span USB, all good. Keep trying.

BoostedH23a1

Check for 5V between pins 1 and 3 on the ECU
u talkin about the 4 wire thing right.. well i show ground on all those.. should i get out my multimeter? do i need to have the ecu installed and do with ign. on?

BoostedH23a1

do i hook it up.. turn the ignition on and take my multimeter and put the black probe to the #1 and the red probe to the #3 (dont think the color matters) but is that how u are saying do it.. or 5v for each lead...

Doodoo

yeah on the ECU. Pin 1 is black, Pin 3 is red when the cable is connected. disconnect it, turn the key to ign. and test with a multimeter, should be 5V.

BoostedH23a1

do that in the morning...
if its not 5v then what.. bad soddering or bad ecu right

Doodoo

I am pretty sure, yeah. You won't feel bad when its working right! I love it!!

BoostedH23a1

hey i found something.. i saw a resistor that is burt.. i get powere b4 it but not after... should i try radioshack.. get a new ressiter and soder it it.. the resistor color is golden... the left has a gold ring.. the center has a gold ring and 2 green rings on the right side what ohm is that...it looks to be in location R77
