I just got my b16a swap in yesterday and the peskyt check engine light keeps coming on. I tried to diagnose it with a scanner today at work (honda) but it says it cant communicate. I figured that was ok cause it is jdm and prolly wouldnt. so i cam e home and tried to jump it with a paper clip (the blue conenctor with 2 pins) and instead of my check engine light blinking i am getting my srs to blink and my check engine light to come on steady? wtf does that mean? BTW it is a jdm motor with the ecu that came with it. I am totally lost i dont knwo what to do now?!?!?! PLEASE HELP!!!! anybody ever run into this or know how to fix it?

um, what car did you swap into?

 

no blinking check engine light is bad ecu

 

yea sounds liek a bad ecu

 

my check engine light and SRS light came on months ago and when i tried to check it with the paper clip, nothing blinked. everything seems fine so far. its been like 4 or more months since that happened. ifthe ecu was bad, then would it still even work?

 

does anyone know where i can get an ecu to work with the motor? This one i am running came with the motor when i got it. I think it is out of a jap spec del sol because a timing belt and water pump didnt fit from a 2000 civic si. If i can get a known good ecu than i can swap em and check real quick. Is it possible to chip the new ecu? If so would it give me any more power? BTW the motor is in a 94 civic ex. the car seems to run fine other than the check light. i dont understand why it wont blink though?!?!?!? anyone have a pcm for a b16a or one for a b16a that is chipped for more power??? Thanks for all your posts.
