I have a 99 Si with a custom turbo kit, im using a 255 pump 450 injectors and a VAFC running 9 lbs of boost, now im getting a map code every once in a while and i have to reset the ECU from under the hood. i wanted to know if i could just put a toggle switch on the ECU fuse under the hood so i could just reset it from inside the car...could this be bad for the ECU??? any info will help....thank you...Chris L.

Jesus, Ive held your hand through the other thread and you feel the need to make another?? Why don't you just make your car run right??

 

my car runs fine it just throws a MAP code every once in a while...im sorry if i offended u in any way by making more than one post, but i dont have the money to go out and buy an engine management system, blown90hatch showed me which wire to hook the toggle up to so i shouldnt have any more CEL problems, but thanx for your advie...Chris

 

You didnt offend me, but if your car is throwing a MAP code every now and then, it is not running correctly. This whole toggle on the ECU thing seems like a really bad idea, but whatever works for you.

take a look at that ...this is where i got the idea...i figured since its been done it might not be a bad idea

 

Hmmm...I still would'nt do it to my car. Just food for though, there are twin turbo civics and other assorted things that have been done, but I would'nt recoomend. Best of luck to you in whatever you decide on.

 

Do it! and use it an an antitheft device! Then fix the car the right way.
