Default Main Relay Flipping Out

So i got my Uber chips to burn after like 3 weeks of no managment.lol.
So when i got put the chipped ecu in the car (90 Civic STD.), the main relay starts clicking "like a machine gun".

But when i warm the car up with another stock ECU and then switch to the chipped ECU it will run.And itll run perfect.

Im just wondering if the IAT adjustment has something to do with the cold starts.
Or maybe my relay is half bad or sometrhing.

Im using Uber 1.7Repack.
Its a D16y8

Help me out here

usually when a relay clicks like crazy means that there is a problem with the ground. get a wiring diagram and look for the ecu ground. that might be the problem. look and see if it is diconnected or not fully tightened

The ground on your thermostat is loose. clean, tighten, enjoy.

No, it doesnt run on the chipped ECU at all anymore.But with a stock ECU the relay is fine and the car runs perfect.

I got it to run once on Uber but forgot to elimnate my speed limiter and O2 so I took it out to reburn and it never ran since and i didnt touch anyhting else except the ECU plugs.

my car is now running on stock ECU.

I think mine might just be my injectors (450dsm) but then i was wondering if it was a bad ground and my main relay... i am also experiencing other bad ground symptoms (crazy speedo/tach, apexi turbotimer goes from reading a/f to not reading a/f even tho there is still good o2 voltage)

sorry, dont mean to thread hijack

The smae chipped ECU was running my LS/Vtec JRSC in the same car.
It ran perfect when I took it out.
Now with my D16Y8, it wont run the car.
