my crx will run fine for a while ill go some where get out and when i come back it will act like there is a dead battery like the clicking sound, i check all the terminals etc, and nothing still the click, i remove the carpet by the ecu and i wiggle the wires and tap on the ecu and it will try and start but then nada ill click the key on and off then it will run but throw a code for a LONG 7 and a short 3 i disconnected the battery for 30s start it back up still dont wanna run try again starts but wont idle i have to keep it rev'ed up then shut it off and try again, starts right up no cel and no codes WTF. This is on a chipped obd0 b16.

 

prob the main relay

 

does that honestly sound like a main, i had a bad main in my hatch and all i would do was click the key on and off a few and bam it would be fine.

 

what was it chipped with? Are you using BRE? IF you are thats your problem. I went through 2 ecu and a dizzy before I figured out bre is full of bugs and does not work right. I swapped in a stock ecu and the clicking went away. I just converted to obd1 to tune properly

 

BRE???? i belive it is a spoon chip it was just made to up the redline and the vtec engagement thats all.

 

i believe its the same as this

Get rid of the chip.

Other than that, sounds like the main relay to me... is it getting fuel when it wont start?

Because they're mass-produced and bootleg. Tuning should be done on a one-off basis, not every tune will work for every vehicle, even if they are similar setups.
