i wired up the SMC and im having trouble with the car runnin smooth. it smells like gas and i lowered it down to 40% and it still deosnt idle and smells strong of gas. I used to have the file to fit map limiter circut and that worked good. but i wanted to get the SMC for more tunability. Anyways. took out the file o fit chip and i tried puttin in the SMC and so far no luck. i found the SMC instructions a bit hard to work with because i counted the pin cell's in the harness and none of them matched up to his diagrams which made it hard to use. any insites >. need help asap. thank s

 

should be hooked up inline w/ the MAP sensor, just like the MAP limiter.

yea it is there now, but its not cranking which is funny. it just clicks liek theres no toamrrow ( as if low on battery) the ecu fuse did not pop, anyone have any ideas ?

 

where are you getting the rpm signal from? it is vital that it is a "clean" signal

 

im gettin it straight off the distributor the blue wire ... and my RPM switch for Vtec is hooked up there too .. but today i had to kick start it, damn starter wont even click ... but i leaned i tout to 50% and it idled for a bit and then it just died and it wouldnt start afterwards (* cant kick start)

 

i've heard that it is best to get it right from the icm signal of the ECU. long wires are not friendly with the rpm signal as the smc requires an electrically "clean" signal. what kind of car is this in?

 

wheres that ?? i looked on the SMC instructions and its pretty confusing. if i count all the pins it doesnt match up to the cells on the list.

also at first it started and was rough as hell and smellled totally of gas, then it stopped firing up, then it started clicking, and now it wont click anymore ( not a battery issue) are there any wires near the wires on his diagram that relate anything to any relays or starters ?

 

tell me this, then we can find out which pin to use.

have you checked all of the wires around the ecu that might have been disturbed? all i can think of as far as the wires in the diagram would be the ecu power but i doubt this would be the problem since it would be easy to see visually. it sounds like you've done a lot of wiring and re-wiring. maybe it would be worth a couple hours to try to return it to stock and get it working, then put in the smc. just a suggestion.

good luck

 

hate to say it but clicking sounds like your starter might have took a **** (prolly not but worth a try) just try rolling the car with ignition on and try jumping it ....that will rule out the starter........

 

Car should crank even if you remove the ecu.
