Default Help with D15 3 stage econo light

Ok.I need help with the econo light triggered ground pinned at A30 on the p2j-003.I ran my D15 3 stage for over 150k miles with everything hooked up like stock.All the sensors and correct vacuum hoses.My econo light always worked fine for two years.My motor was getting tired so I swapped in a new D15 3 stage using the same car,ecu,and harness.

Here's what happened !!!! I accidentally reversed the wires on the econo light sending 12v keyed power to the triggered ground pinned at A30.I drove it like that for a few hours and everything runs great no CEl's but my econo light won't come on now after I hooked it up the right way.Maybe I fried the ecu just on that pin ???? I can run a jumper ground to the A30 pin and the light works fine.I just can't get the ECU to turn it on ? I hope lean burn is OK and it's just the light.Regular vtec seems fine.

I guess lean burn is still working.I got 400 miles on my 98 ek hatch before getting gas.That's highway and stop and go as a courier.I tried to stay in lean burn the entire tank.Econo lights still not working.I calibrated my tps,set idle and ignition timing per the honda manual.Full timing belt and tune up was done also with the swap.Any ideas on other sensors throwing off the econo light ? Also tried two different speed sensors and egr selonoids for the 3 stage.No cels

You can get a wideband o2 sensor and gauge and thats how you'll now....I might try it but money is tight.....tax season.

A30 Pin is burned out.Plugged in a new p2j-003 ecu and econo light is working.Now I have an extra p2j-003 for sale !!!!!!!

P2j-003 ecu for sale !!!!!!!!

Yes the A30 pin is burned out but everything else on the ecu works great.I'm selling this p2j-003 ecu for $210 shipped.I hooked up a new ecu today from ebay and the econo light works.I really don't even wanna sell this one but if it helps out someone in need.Just realize the econo light won't work at pin A30.Both vtecs work fine,Lean burn works cause I got 400 miles on my ek hatch before getting gas and thats what you will get in lean burn if you drive the entire tank like a wuss.350 a tank is standard driving aggressive.Also I know the ecu is fine as I had no Cel's but if I unplug the solenoids separate they both give a Cel.I did that just to test the ECU still controls both selonoids.Also wild cam vtec kicks in at about 5500 rps and lets you take it past 7200 rps before the fuel cut off.If vtec wasn't working your fuel would cut off sooner.Message me if interested.
