recently i bought the old full-race.com coupe and got it retuned by charm city tuning and everything was good for a week but now it wont stay running.


problems:
wont stay running
mil will flash really fast at 1700rpm
s300 wont pick up the mil
car loads up and starts to backfire


everything was fine. i did a full pass and drove home and parked it then next day it started running funny.
i had some harness problems when i got it and a tps problem but thought i fixed it and a few people seem to think its the harness is grounding out or the engine grounds or even the tps again but it was reading when i logged it


help please.

 

check the icm!

 

what is the icm? lol

 

Igniter

 

ive changed the distributor 2 times

 

Why not bring it back to CCT to have your issue diagnosed? Unless of course you live far from the shop.

 

The plane is to try and figure it out and then take it to them to rewire the hole car.

 

ha

 

Problem?

 

that sounds like a computer problem....i had a chipped ecu that did that sometimes...

 

As a matter a fact I do. You should watch what you say about people because it just may get back to them........

 

Sounds Interesting ^^

James, when did this thing make 649 on low boost? At CCT?

And Rick,
I have a question for you about some work if interested. I had the black h2b hatch at MIR, i was talking to Taylor and saw you there. I need some tranny input, and maybe some one to build it. Transmissions scare me, and i was wondering if you build them. Thanks man

 

matt: its always made that power. 400 was on 8psi.

rick: i really dont care...

 

I dont do side work, but I can lead you in the right direction. PM me

Sounds good just the way I like it. You'll be like the rest

 

like the rest?

 

throw the S300 in the garbage.... put an AEM.....

 

ill stick with hondata. the software isnt the problem.

 

Good deal.

 

Have u covered the basics yet?

all engine grounds.
Main relay.
Fuel pump setup.
Swapped to another ecu, or burn a chip on older software & see how it runs?

 

Also double check in your software that your settings are still correct for the calibration, map sensor, fuel, ign settings etc.

 

i would check the map sensor and wiring to it

 

Yeah, there's a good idea...

Let's throw the trouble free management system in the garbage and open up a new can of worms with an AEM unit...

:facepalm

As Chad stated, either the ICM maybe going bad or the wiring going to it >>

 

try reloading the map in it we have had a few problems with the latest s300 software,but not as many as the pos aem

 

Ok thanks guys for the help

 

LMAO! Was thinking the same thing.
