I have a 2006 Honda Civic, ~3000 miles. I have installed a Thomas racing chip. It works fine for about 100 miles and then the check engine light comes on. I have uninstalled it and reinstalled it. The same thing happened again. Please give me any ideas on why this is happening and how I can fix it. Thank you very much for the help.

 

Ive never heard of a Thomas racing chip for the 06+ SI's if thats what you own if i where you i would take it off and get the hondata reflash and stop messin with that ebay garbage !

 

lol you actually dared putting thomas ebay chips??? well go to auto zone and have a scan with a obd 2 scanner so you can know what it is then erase it with the same scaner and see what happens later , but dont erase it til you write it down and what descreption it says.

 

Is this the chip that is suppose to give you like 20-25hp by installing it?

Uninstall that crap, get the CEL cleared and dont install anything but Hondata

X 50,000

Not only can u actually DAMAGE something but you run the risk of having a NICE hefty bill from honda for a new ECU and voiding that warranty
gives them a NICE leg to stand on for some MONSTER claim denials.

Hondata reflash is currently just for the 06-07 si


The only chip you should put in your car is a Potato Chip if your hungry.

 

Thanks for all the help! Took off the chip, scanned and erased.
