OK so i wired everything up and its in limp mode. Could limp mode be caused by the lack of a knock sensor? Or could it be caused from me using my d16y7 intake manifold? or both? i would like to know quick if anyones here. thanks

 

bump

 

i dont belive single cams have a knock sensor, and u need to give more details like what code u are getting...and that will tell u your problem right there. u probly wired something wrong

 

SOHCs did come with knock sensor, not all but some. I am not sure what code it is cause i dont have a diagnostic machine.

There is a thread on codes but i do not know which program is used to play the movie showing how to read the code.

 

theres no program used

you just need to connect the two pins togather

 

no there is a thread on how to read your own CELs and there is a movie in that thread, but i do not know which program to play the movie with. all the ones ive tried to play it with dont recognize the file type.

 

yea i kind of misread

make sure you have the latest widows media player
or the latest Windows Media Video 9 codec

 

ok i saw the vid and then realized it was for obd1, and my car is obd2. how would i go about finding out my codes?

 

and i still need to know about the first post

 

y8 head on a y7 block running a p2p ex ecu, yes you will need the knock sensor screwed in and wired to the ecu or you will be in limp mode with a cel and the car will bog like crazy. How do I know? I did the same swap and experienced the same problem. I got knock sensor wired in and all the cels went away and the car ran fine.

And what's this about using the y7 intake manifold? That manifold uses a 3-wire iacv which will not work with the p2p ex ecu. You need a d-series intake manifold that utilizes the 2-wire iacv on the back of the manifold and modify your stock harness so you can connect it to the ecu.

 

so i gotta get the y8 manifold in order for this to work?

i already have the knock sensor plugged in, so could my y7 manifold be making limp mode turn on?

 

What ecu and what harness are you running? Get me on aim: lricerocketl and I can help you out.

Use this to find cel codes.

Dump the Y7 intake mani... they suck... who the hell wants a toilet bowl?

 

the y7 wouldn't put you in limp mode but it will make it idle funny with the iavc problem.

 

i cant rev past 5k, so i think it is limp mode
