i just rebuilt a sohc zc and threw it into the crx. it was originally an hf but im trying to make it an si. anyways fired her up for the first time, i got oil pressure, yes...but then she idles at 2000 rpms like forever and never goes down even when she over heats which she is doing right now and im throwing a code...help guys i want to get her running right.

i dont have a iac i just blocked it off should i get one?


need help asap...

 

Your block off plate is probably causing a huge vacuum leak.

 

used atv seal on it and sprayed cab clean on it doesnt do anything when carb clean hits it. engine check light on all the time also.

 

dude put the iac sensor back on that make u idle right.what code are u throwing.

 

wheres the clip thats aupoose to be cliped in there?is it just hanging?

x2

Without knowing the code, we're just shooting in the dark. You know how to check the codes?

 

dont know how to check codes....shouldnt the light just blink by itself or is there something i have to do?

also im running the pm6 ecu now i heard theres something we're supposed to do to the little light switch that tells you when to shift gears with the hf ecu?


***edit..i got to go get an iac.

 

pull the carpet back on passenger side and it should be right there.

 

light doesnt blink at all...already did that...what would cause the engine to over heat? damn it im frustrated.

 

hum?hows the codntion of your rad cap?are u getting flow though the rad?what condtion in the rad itself in?

 

If you're OBD-0 with the pm6, the red LED on the ECU should blink the code.

It just stays on solid?


about the overheating:
is your thermostat opening? (does the lower radiator hose get hot)
is your radiator fan coming on?

 

have u tested the water temp sensr ?its located under the dizzy.the one wire plug.

 

yeah dude...

well i followed a flow chart off of shopkey5.com and it says that to try a good known ecu...im getting pissed cause i bought that chipped ecu off of some guy here on honda tech.

***anybody got a good ecu for sale?

 

If it's chipped, it could just be a bad chip, and not a bad ECU.

 

that prob aint going to make it overheat if theres no light blinking does your check engine light on?

 

i got p06 for sale.

You know from experience?

I've burned bad chips for my ECU before, and it would still start up fine, althought I never attempted to drive it like that. It would just throw a solid check engine light.

 

if the cel is on u porb got a short somewhere.that shouldnt come on unless u got a code showing. go though evry part of your collant system double TRIPLE check everything.make sure u got no leaks evrything is good working order.btw how the h/g

Like I said before, a solid CEL can happen with a bad chip and it will stay SOLID. It won't blink a code.

Don't try to sell him a p06. He's OBD-0.

 

head gasket is brand new man...there are no leaks anywhere.

 

So the Dash CEL is on but the ECU LED isn't blinking?? Thats wierd...uhm pull the main fuse and reset the ECU see if the CEL comes back on, make sure the ECU blinks once when you turn the Key, i cold burn you a new chip for a stock Pm6 to try...Matt

 

no i wouldnt know...sorry for saying that. umm...i got a buddy with a burner i'll get him to burn me a chip...is the sst 27sf512 chip are those reburnable?

 

hum? i forgot he has chipped ecu mr crx is right if your chip is bad it will show soild cel. well if he haing an over heating prob. does that mean your car runs?cause i thought if u had bad chipp it wouldnt even start up.but i could be wrong.having bad chip ecu shouldnt work at all.
