<p>So, you went and bought this abortion of a car even after we all told you not to. &nbsp;Gotcha.</p><p>You have the wrong ECU. &nbsp;Get a P2E ECU, install it, and go from there. &nbsp;No, we cannot move forward until you have done that. &nbsp;Yes, you will probably still have a lot more work to do after that.</p>

 

Well that's definitely the wrong ecu. That's part of your problems. Is your car auto or manual? You should have a p2e ecu installed with the y7. If you need a manual one shoot me a PM.

Narc beat me to it...

 

I think oyu missed the post where he stated the car is in the shop having the rear crank seal replaced.

The car has been bought 2 weeks back and has inherited the challenges prior to coming here and posting about it.

Unfortunately some knowledgeable folks are just skimming posts and missing very large details then flipping self righteous attitude when it's not necessary.

But hey, that's ego for ya. Tends to make individuals look like royal asses.

 

You don't know what codes are real until you reset the ECU to see which, if any, return.

However, a D16Y7 engine does require an OBD2a P2E ECU that matches your transmission.

 

<p></p><p>You know what else makes someone look like an ***? &nbsp;Feigned self-righteous indignation over good advice. &nbsp;We're in tech - stick to tech.</p>

 

I think this all happened because the first post did not have enough detailed information on what was done, it got spread out in multiple posts.

Before making any purchases I'd start with verifying the ecu, verifying the engine code and go from there.

 

Post #25 has that information, which he gave as was requested of him.

Confused replies come from lack of information and/or the people replying not reading the full post before typing. A little bit of both going on in this thread.

 

Thanks to the folks that understood what i was saying.... yes the car is a 5spd, so i will hunt down a new ecu, another dumb question what year/car am i lookin for?? There is a 97-98 civic at the jy but its a auto...

 

96-98

 

<p>An autotragic ECU won't work. &nbsp;You'll throw CEL codes for the TCU. &nbsp;Unfortunately, you also have a Y8 intake manifold, which means you'll have issues with getting a functioning IACV, which is probably why the idiot PO used an EX ECU.</p><p>You need to get a Y7 throttle body with IACV, reverse the throttle plate, block off the IACV port on the back of the Y8 intake manifold, and that should help resolve your next step. &nbsp;Still, though, you need to resolve the issue of having the wrong ECU. &nbsp;Hopefully the PO didn't also **** your wiring harness to hell and back.</p>

 

I know, I was presenting myself as a mirror. Demonstrating by acting similar. Leading by example obviously doesn't work so trying something different.

You too don't appreciate it just like the OP didn't.

Point made, now please don't dictate to me. I don't gain respect when you attempt to boss me around. Thanks.

 

True.

But let's not forget that the regular members were genuinely trying to guide the OP to a tech solution. When you want help from somebody, these kinds of replies are clearly counterproductive and should be avoided:

just sayin.

 

<p>Here I am, trying to help the OP, and here you are, the moderator, continually trying to derail the thread. &nbsp;Maybe you should make a second account with a black name for when you want to pull this ****?</p><p>Edit: RonJ, not talking about you. &nbsp;You just beat me to the punch line.</p>

 

Quoting one side aka the responses only.... just sayin.

Didn't start with clean help, instead it was some advise slathered in snide hateful indignant remarks. And unfortunately all because of missing important details coupled with making assumptions. The responses you quoted are an end result of what was received naturally. Not saying OP was much better but it is understandable and was totally avoidable.

I was pointing that out with the same kind of snide hateful remarks as a demonstration. I suppose I could have quoted and highlighted the snippets of good advise for the poster at the same time.... That's a pretty good idea methinks.

I'm not a fan of double standards or favoritism so act accordingly.

Ignoring it on the other hand sets precedence and just allows others to act in the same manner, promotes it even.

It's not like there is typically public apologies when certain people make gross errors even if it was noticed, pride prevent losing face I guess. All that stands publicly for eternity is the hateful unjust comments and of course the retorts.

Anyways, the focus of the anger has switched away from the OP and OP is now getting solid tech assistance. No more diversions from me.

/out

 

I'm a fan of helping, as are most regular members here. If you're saying that I favor givers over unappreciative takers, then you would be correct.

You're moderating the wrong forum if sugary sweet responses is what you need. This ain't Disneyland, but you will find good tech advice if you come with the right attitude.

 

As stated, if all detailed info was posted in post #1, than we wouldn't be this far into this **** war.

 

Ok sweet, there is a civic at the jy with a Y7 so grab the throttle body, talking to a member now about a ecu... and i do apoligize to you folks about what was said... in no way did i mean to start a war so to speak.. just new to the tuner world, thays why i boughy the car, to try new things.. again thanks guys for the info.. i will be going to the jy saturday an grabing the tb an will update when i get that an a new ecu

 

This isn't even a tuner thing. This is more along the lines of "bought a car that isn't running right, what do I do". its fine and all but again, the details need to be all stated in the first post, what you did and what you have verified.


What block is in the car?

 

The block is stamped D16y7

 

You definitely have the wrong ecu, hope you don't run into any other issues.
