hello

i have just put a new engine into the car, pulled the hazard fuse and injector plugs to prime the oil system with out any problems.
but when i plugged everything back in to start up and leak check the connections i got a constant CEL when setting the key to position "2", shorted the service connector but no blinks.
the green LED to the right of the USB plug is constant on, but the red on next to it is flashing.

but when i plug in the standard ecu there is no CEL....

car: 1998 euro ITR
engine: 2l LSvtec
ecu: s300 tuned in USA after the engine was assembled and shipped back to me. ecu is fitted with OBD2b connection, OBD2a->2b jumper installed

so there should be a correct map stored in the hondata, but as i read here on the forum it would be a risk for me to connect a laptop with the newest Smanager installed....

is it safe to start? is the ecu in limp mode?
any smart heads out there to help me?

 

What ecu do you have ?
Did you disable the knock sensor (presuming your ecu does not have a knock board).

 

dont really remember the ecu name, but it was the original ITR ecu (PR3 maybe?)

the engine was built and tuned by endyn and shipped to me so i really dont have any clue of the map. but no knock sensor installed

 

There is no such thing as an obd1 itr ecu.
Please check the ecu model number & make sure the knock sensor is disabled if it doesn't have a knock board in the ecu.

 

no there is a standard OBD2a wiring in the car, but the hondata ECU has OBD2b plug, so there is a conversion harness 2a->2b installed.
knock is disabled

 

Do you have a local hondata dealer you can contact to have them inspect the unit ?
Have you tried contacting the dealer you purchased the unit from ?

 

i dont think there is any approved hondata dealers i norway.

well i bought it from a member on HT so i dont think there is any good aftermarket support :S
but i got a backup on the map so i can try to upload that

 

Can you check the code??

 

when shorting the connector the CEL is still constant.
i will try to connect the laptop to the ecu and see if there is any codes indicaed in the Smanager

 

everything seems fine after uploading a new map into the hondata.
started fine and warmed up on idle.
but to new smaller problems came up. the tachometer in the dash dont work, but hondata and apexi RSM reads it fine.

overheat warning came on, coolant system needs bleeding and try to figure out why the fan did`nt start...
