i drive a 94 honda civic sedan automatic tranny
i swappd the motor to a D16z6 vtec, also i had to change my P06 ecu to a P28 so i was told, so i got one but once installd my car took a while to turn on and also it did nt let me switch gears
so i thought it was tranny but i switchd my ecu back to the P06 and it was shifting good! so i want to know what the heck is up wit the ecu they told me to change ot because my car kept on turning off when i was stopped completely even on drive. it would also take a reallyy long time to turn on
can someone tell me how to make this ecu work please or something

 

It's got to do with the fact that the p28 is from a manual car. sort of like a GS-R ecu would not work to well/if at all with an auto LS. (Correct me if im wrong but that's my theory)

 

is it? i was told it would work

 

You need an auto p28

 

 

it is an auto one at least thas wat theyy told me

 

"They"? How about find out for sure? What are the numbers on the side of the ECU?

 

i am also having a problem.. i am a first time honda owner i have a 95 2 civic 2 door coupe has a d16z6 bottom end with a y8 head had a p06 in it when i initially got it. non vtec wiring harness. i bought a P28 ecu and wired up the vtec accordingly. but it still doesnt seem to be working. is there anything i could have missed? please help. thank you in advance

 

also has a TD-42u distributor

 

Start your own thread. This issue isn't even related.

 

37820-P28-A52761-778106 AWN

 

Sounds like an automatic. But I only took 5 seconds to search.

 

i checked it too and confirmed its an automatic but i aint got no clue when i installed it the cel came on i pulled the code it was 13 i believe and it said exhaust something also i would have to push the gas to start it

 

Can you verify that code?

 

92-5 ECUs (P28, P30, P61, P72, P91, P08)
5spd = 000, 001, 002, 003, A00, A01, A02, C00, C01, C02, J00, J01, J02
Auto = J50, J51, 901, 902, C50, C51, C52, A50, A51, A52

off a honda tech forum

 

welll you have an auto ecu... look after the p28 it says A52 listed under the auto ones

 

ya i know its wierd my friend is tellin me it could be my distributor

 

can you get hold of another p28 auto there's always a chance your's has an issue

 

Your friend told you you cant change gears and your throwing an exhaust cel because of the distributor?
Maybe you should stop listening to him

 

its not the ecu we tried it on my brothers 95 ex nd it worked good

 

Pull the CEL codes again for verification. Post all of them.

 

No. The CEL code.

 

P28 CEL Code


P06 CEL Code
