ok fellas.. i finished my swap and last nite i fired it up and it started.. drove it home.. then this morning i tried to start it.. it didnt start up.. my ecu is making a funnny noise.. im running my stock 2000 ex ecu- the motor swap a 95 LS.. could it be a crank sensor or immoblizer?? this is pissing me off.. im thinking its my ecu.. i tried starting it all day today.. sometimes it start then dies out immediately.. HELP HTers.. THANX

 

Do you have a obd1 to obd2 harness. Not sure but that could be why your car is messed up. You definately need to get the correct ecu.

 

my ecu makes funny noises.. could that be why it wont start? it started up fine before.. i know i should get the rite ecu... but shoulndt it still start?

 

help

 

up..

 

dude first of why the hell are you using a obd2 civic sohc vtec ecu on a 95 obd1 dohc non-vtec motor swap??, you have to get the right wire harness from a obd1 92-95 LS and ECU. that the problem right there. plus ecu's don't make noise's, so thats just probably your fuel pump relay.

trust me the ecu makes a clicking noise.. its hard to explain..

trust me the ecu makes a clicking noise.. its hard to explain.. i know there nothing wrong with the ecu tho..

 

its hard to explain.. when the click the ignition to on i can hear the fuel pump then its stop rite.. then i head clicking noise from the ecu... i know theres nothing wrong with the ecu.. it fines..

 

whats that got to do with anything i never said anything about your ecu being bad, its just that your running a totally different ecu/wire harness on a complete different swap.

 

ive ran a non vtec ecu on a vtec motor before in my old db7 integra and it ran fine.. just never hit vtec.. so shouldnt it still work? well anywase i know i need to run the rite ecu.. just need to find someone selling the jumper harness..

 

i just don't think/or ever heard of a ecu make sounds, but anyways good luck with everything.

 

yeah but your talking about running a 0bd2 single cam ecu/wire harness on a obd1 dohc motor swap. thats just not right

 

ECU clicking could be a short in the ECU


Either way you need an ECU for that engine...get it..swap it...run it..

 

wrd. you will also have to get the right harness because when you get right ecu your plugs from your old harness won't plug up.
