i have a 92 dx civic hatchback that is in limp mod and there is no jumper harness on it is there a eather way to check why it is in limp mod can some-one help me

Kegan

Limp mode usually means ditributor. Reset your ecu and see if it corrects it even if only for a minute. Then bolt on a known good dizzy and see if that fixes that ish.

hotxcivic92

so what dose dizzy mean is just a code b/c i have a b16a with a d16/y8 distrubutor but it fired up the car and everthing so i though nothing about it seem everthing was right you no

Kegan

Dizzy means ditributor.

Use a distributor for the motor and you won't have the problems, yeah it'll start the car but it won't run it the way you want it to.

...What You could be throwing any number of codes that throws the ecu into "limp" mode.

ok ill have to go out and by one and then let you no how it went

pdiggitydogg

The right distributor is important.....but you need to do what I provided to check the code.

hotxcivic92

i cant check for any code i dont have a jumper harness in my car wish there was a eather way

hotxcivic92

like i looked where it should have been but it is not there and i dont no what to do i have the pin out schematics but now what do i do?

Max Kling

Just find the wire on the ECU to trip the self diagnostic and ground it. You dont need just the jumper.


EDIT: pdiggitydogg did all the work for you, its the white wire on pin D4 ground it.

And dont listen to the guy who said it was the distributor. CEL's rang from 100's of thing, distributor is only like 5 of them. Also dont throw parts at it, figure out whats wrong first then fix it right, dont just throw a new distributor on unless its causing the problem.

pdiggitydogg

I put two links in my first reponse....you need to read what I said first...then look at the first link...followed by the second...

hotxcivic92

so just ground out the d4 with is the scs service check single now dose it matter what i ground it to or is this not right b/c that is what you guys made it sound like

pdiggitydogg

A ground is a ground
just run a wire from D4 to a clean bolt, the chassis itself...whatever

hotxcivic92

hell yea i have so much money in parts that i dont even need just bought a new ecu for my b16 i had a chipped skunk2 p28 but now i have a stock b16 ecu and you no how much they can be not to cheap tired of spending money on **** that dont fix it

you can either use a paperclip, or go to autozone and borrow their OBD2 tester for free.
