Hey guys, my car died on me while driving. It now doesn't wanna start, when it does start white smoke is coming out of the exhaust and it smells like gas. CEL comes on and off but honda-logger never reads it. the car begins to idle erratically, goes low and i need to keep on giving the car gas to keep it from dieing. Here is a screen shot of a log i made with honda-logger. the car was tuned by Whitefield racing a month ago. it is a turbo b16 @9 psi.

Here is the actual log http://www.mediafire.com/?0zwl0mt99at

anyone?

 

something wrong with your ems. try to remove hondata and plug stock ecu.

 

screenshots are useless...try posting actual datalogs so that they can be viewed in hondalogger on our end

Here is the log itself. Car won't really rev past 2k.

 

YOu need to adjust your TPS. It should be .48-.49 volts at idle. See if that helps before doing anything else.

 

The car won't even idle.....tps was at about .55 before this started at idle. The car doesn't even want to fire up, could bad tps settings make it not fire up?? I'll make sure the tps is at the correct reading though. Multimeter,gound to ground and positive to signal, right?

 

Use Hondalogger

 

try uploading your bin again. One day my car wouldn't start for nothing and it was acting crazy, then I decided to upload the tune again and it started right up.

 

The car was tuned at a shop thats 2 hours away...can i just take my ECU there?

 

yea all they have to do it put the ecu in a car and have the ignition on to burn the chip. this is why s300 is the **** lol (no chips, burners, etc). turn the ignition on and see if your CEL stays solid.

I unplugged my blue hondata box and plugged it back in and bam it worked fine, 'til it died on me after about five minutes. Then i unplugged the hondata and started it up without the blue box and it got me back home......did my actual hondata box crap out on me?
