Ok, 35 miles on the block, trying to figure out why it gimps out from 4k-6500rpm. running it up to redline, afr's are ok from 12-13.5. its NA lsvtec.

All of the sudden while the tach reads 7500 car rockets forward and tdrops cell. afr's are fucked up. i gimp it home so i can check the cel, and i get a whole bunch. first time cel has appeared, i get 22, 20, 10, 6, 7, and the infamous 1 and 13.

the 1 and 13 i dont really care for, but the 22 and 20, 6 and 7 are new.

any insight useful, lol

how do i reset ecu to reposition the dist? i know you turn the dist while the service connector is jumped, but do i have to reset the ecu prior to doing so?

Si Shane

they wont go away. even if i resset the ecu they still chillin when i prime teh fuel pump. wtf? cels usually go away with a rock of the ignition.

Sounds like you put alot of plugs in the wrong place, or using a bad ecu or bad dist. either way something big is very wrong. Sucks to not be able to find the correct answer huh? more detail.

Si Shane

come on guys, i'm using uberdata. wtf is Electrical Load Detector and why wont it go away? how do i pop a CEL for that, is it electrical? is it a "your signals coming from the motor dont correspond to what i should be getting, so i'll pop a cel" or is it "something is mechanically broken so here is a cel"

The car was fine for the first 35 miles, then all of the sudden, booom! cel, and it ran like ****, i had to keep it at 10inches around 20mph to keep the AFR from going too lean. When i restart the car, reset the ecu, the cel's come back. they are for real

for anyone who didn't respond cause numbers dont mean anything to you:
20= ELD (electrical load detector)
22= VTEC Pressure valve
6= water temp sensor
7= tps sensor

10=IAT sensor this cel used to pop all the time, it means nothing. rock the ignition and its gone.
1=02a. this cel used to pop all the time, it means nothing. rock the ignition and its gone.


went to my car this mornign and plugged the ECU back in, set it to prime the fuel pump and the CEL's have cleared? wtf?

I dont have time to start the car this morning, but i will surely post an update when i get back from class.

The question i have is really are these cel's electrical, are plugs in the wrong place? or are they mechanical cels.

Ok so i sniffed around and that funny 3 pronged plug that hits the Throttle Body waszn't plugged in. (while the motor was on the engine stand it smashed into my garage door and broke the attachment off) i plugged it back in and no more cels.

is it possible the ELD was due to the TPS error? is tps used to figure ELD?
