Whats up,
i put this into another thrad, but got no responces <------ !!
my buddy has a b16 in his eg hatch, gsr harness...

it keeps blowing ecu fuses....
it happens when he goes around corners (which makes me think its a loose wire rubbing on something, possible a power wire rubbing the frame?)

he has a VAFC in it (Crimed not soldered in the interior), and vtec hard wired (Crimped and shrimk wrapping in the interior), i know the engine harness is all done right, i did it, and everything is soldered and shrink wrapped....

I am simply out of ideas... Someone help me, help him!

Update: I took out the vafc (reoldiered and shrink wrapped now) May 31st 1:46pm

I searched for you and saw a trend. Usually it was a wire that was touching an engine part (ie IM) or chassis and melted off the side of it, making it ground the ecu. I say go through your harness and look for any wires touching metal.

Good thread https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=1332324

 

fixed the problem, ended up being a dizzy..

ps, hmm that was midwesta, ive dealt with him in the classifieds...good guy

 

nvm, problem is back... thinking it may be the harness, now we have to tow the car back to his house... my rt4wed 88 wagon will do the trick

 

expletive i hate these damn problems. i have the same problem except different fuse. I say check the places where you touch (VAFC, VTEC). maybe the back of the VAFC is grounding out, or a hot wire is left unwrapped

 

Sounds to me that the culprit might have to do with a Vafc wiring. Go through the wiring again. My best advise would be solder and heat shrink. Turns out better in the long run.

 

my homie had the same problem and it was the o2 wiring touching the L-bracket

 

well, i took out the vafc, and i soldeired and shrink wrapped the wires, ill chekc the o2, but im off to bed!

thank you you guys, any other ideas?

 

Exact same problem happened to me when a passenger accident pulled the VAFC wiring on my ECU. I fixed it, but wasn't sure what the problem was. I think it was the ground wiring on the VAFC was going to the wrong wire.

Triple check the wiring.

 

02 sensor is not the problem.... i check it, everything is ok
