well like it says... i have a 90 hatch w/d16a6, it ran fine when i put it in the garage to start the turbo install, but now i am all finished minus the downpipe and I get a code 4 and the car won't start.... I am using a pm6 ecu chipped with turboedit and i guy i knows semi-tuned map for a similar setup... I thought the distributor might have taken a **** so i tried my friends and it did not work either.... I checked the resistance between the leads on the big plug of the distributor and they are all around 350 ohms which should be good i think?? Anyways i am baffled, could a wire be loose somewhere? Or might i have pulled one out of the ecu plug when i was taking it outa the car, i have no idea.... Any help appreciated, thanks guys

 

code 4 is your crank position sensor. hmmm

 

yeah i know, i did the troubleshooting process in the manual and came up with nothing....

 

very frustrating..... and cold as hell even in the heated garage... brrrrrr

 

nobody?????? Please help

 

check the distributor ground, i forgot to ground mine back out when i put it back on and the same thing happened. so i grounded it back, and went ahead and ran a bigger ground wire straight to the body (had some wire laying around) and hot damn, started right on up.

 

bump

 

where is the distributor grounded?? is there supposed to be a ground wire coming off of it or something???? Oh and thanks for the bump matt

 

at the t stat housing

 

bump for a local

 

well i checked the ecu wiring harness and sure enough the wire was completly out of b10, so i plugged it back in and tried to start it up..... It cranked a few times but then vroom!! Started right up and idled perfect on my supplied TE BIN. So i let it run for about 5 mins checking for leaks and such, everything looked good so we decided to take it for a spin..... I reached over to the passenger seat to tuck the ecu back into its home under the pass carpet and as soon as i got it in the bolt holes the car just died suddenly !@#$^&* I was like ****!! what could be loose now??? But i checked all the wires again and they all seem to be attached this time, so the car will not start now, it just cranks and cranks and the check engine light is on but the ecu is flashing no code???? Could i have fried the ecu? I checked all the fuses (i think) and they all seem to be in order... So here we go again, another gay problem related to someone elses wiring mess... Any ideas on what this might be guys???

 

id check your wireing through the firewall and make sure none of the wires are being pressed up against it causeing it to ground out. and if theres no shorts then i would just double and triple check all the wireing before just putting a new ecu on there and possibly frying it. did you reset you check engine light once the car started running?

 

yes i reset it, it seems like the ecu is not getting power or something
