My question is,,, is their some kind of limp mode that the Hondata has if it's not getting info from the chip?


Here's the problem...
Saterday morning I went to start the car and it had a check engine light and ran like poop. I pulled the codes and the check engine light was solid, but the ABS light was flashing me codes??? non of them were honda codes (17, 83.. wierd ones) plugged the connecter back in and the car ran fine.
that same day while I was driving, the check engine light flicked on for like 1/2 a sec. then went away. Then 10 min later, it came on at a light and the car stalled??? I started it back up and drove to dinner. THe car was running full rich and in open loop all the time (Autometer A/F gauge showed that). THen I drove back to my grandperents for 5min same condition. When I started the car to leave, no engine light??? ran perfectly. THis has happened a couple times in the last few days. The hondata was installed only a week ago.

Sorry for the long story, but that's my problem.... Any ideas?

anyone???

 

anyone have an idea??

I think it could be the cable from the hondata to the ECU.. but I'm new to hondata, and I still don't know anything about this limp mode. is it safe to drive in limp mode?

 

Check all your connections. It sounds like you have a loose one somewhere.

 

Definately a loose wire some where.

 

I'll check my connections and post later.

Thanks,

 

check the soldering of the eprom socket

 

I got the chip reburned yesterday, and for the first time in 10 days I havn't got a check engine light. Although, last time I went 3 days before the first light popped up. we'll see......

 

Solid CE light means blue box/chip comm error....

If the CE light doesn't go out ~10 sec (when fuel pump stops) after
key up (not start), its a comm error.

Could be corrupt tune, blue box, lose wire....

well so far after reburning the chip, I've gone 5 days without a CE light. Looks like the chip got a bad burn or something??? Is this common?

Thanks for all the input!
