bad ecu?

junk95civ

Try reseting the ECU "properly" theres different ways to do it, but I did the one where you dont touch the battery but only the fuse. I was getting a solid light, freaked out and searched the hell out of it, reset my ecu, and it dissappeared. So reset your ecu before you continue freaking out. Other than that I found out that its probably a bad ecu.

i just tried another ecu from another car i also tried the fuse rest thing still no luck

junk95civ

No luck? What do you mean by that? And what ECU did you use and how did you do the reset?

ok so far i use paper clip to jump the diagnosis plug located under the glove box on the right side the 2 wire one and yes i did it rite because when i plug it up the check engine lights come on and when i unplugged it the lights goes off i know this because last month i did it and code 43 came up. and i reset the car battery by leaving it off for a whole hour with the ecu unplug and ecu fuse unplugged . and i tried just by unplugging the battery by it self for 30 min and. then another way is when i unplug the ecu fuse for 15 min and another way just by unpluging the ecu . i have tried another ecu from my brother car and his ecu works fine because i diagnosis his car and it works.. ok im runing out of idea because i have heard people say use another ecu .rest the ecu fuse un plug battery but i dont know what else to do my car drives ok but it feels like i have vtec but my car dont have vtec the reason i said that because when i drive it start 2 get faster at higher rpm like vtec and i just did full tune up and i just passed smog so new everything
