Cel wont blink when I jump it, please help, out of a car for over a week
Ok quick summary, I drive a 94 civic ex, with turbo set up, runing uberdata for awhile
so my car was stolen, got it back, it wouldnt start via key, but I could compression start it, so I had been doing that. didn't drive the car for 5 days, went to go get gas, was very low, car died, threw a cel and went into limp mode. try to jump the ecu, however I just get a solid engine light (no blinking!!!). here is the order of events after I reset the ecu, so no code being thrown right away.
1. turn key to acc
2. all the dash lights go on (abs, cel, ebrake ect.)
3. cel light goes off
4. injectors are primed
5. 10sec. later theres a click noise followed by the buzzz, the sound is coming from the back of the block, it sounds like a computer harddrive spining up, brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr, sounds more electrical, maybe its a pump?, its one constant annoying note. its not normal.
6. cel comes back on at the same time
7. car is in limp mode
8. I begin to cry again
any ideas would be great, or if theres anyone in the PNW with a p28 I could test on my car
thanks for any help

Solid check engine light and fuel pump cycling usually means bad chipping job. See if they took the chip out of the ECU or damaged it somehow.

That's a good point. Do you have access to another ECU maybe that you could plug in and test it out.

the chips should be fine. I've been buring them myself. and uber had been working. why would it stop all of the sudden? I'll try one of my friends uber kit today, and I'll go over all my sodering. thanks for the input
