SOLVED
b13 yellow/green wasnt fully inserted EPIC



I have a 2000 civic ex... i did the auto/manual conversion

I kept the old auto ecu in... i finally got the manual one

i swapped the auto ECU with the Manual one.. Now the car wont start.

I even put auto one back in and no luck... i checked a few fuses hoping it was something simple but didnt find anything..


any help would be much apperciated

 

Don't see how swapping ECUs would cause this. I do it all the time.

What kind of no start we talking about?

 

cranks but doesnt start

 

Getting spark? Fuel? Mail relay clicking? Fuel pump priming?

 

fuel pump does prime

 

What about the rest of it?

 

idk about spark but everything else is good...

also the CEL light is solid

EDIT: spark in all 4

 

Then you might want to check the spark but I'd check the ECU ground first. Try and pull a code.

 

So you have a CEL?... Pull the code.

 

wouldnt have anything to do with the alarm would it??

 

Pull neg cable on battery n reset everything

 

I tried that b4 i posted

 

O I c

 

bump

also checked the ground near thermostat housing

 

up

 

Was it starting with the auto ECU before the swap?

 

yes... it was running good... till i put the manual ecu on cuz i need 2 smog soon

only CEL i got was 70-automatic transmission problems

 

Try another dizzy?

 

^ yeah i was thinking the same thing... no timing light FML ill try it though

 

Should.still start just put it in the middle brah

 

can you give us exact code off the side of both ecu's? do you have the harness plugged in correctly? a manual ecu will only have 3 of 4 plugs used/available - A,B,C. While the auto has all 4 - A,B,C,D

 

I only get a soild code for my auto ECU. for the 5spd ECU there is no CEL. Im pretty sure i plugged in the harness correctly.

 

car smells A LOT like gas when i crank it

 

solved thanks erry1 who helped... even vem

 

What was the problem
