I'm chipping my roomates p28 ECU. I did the 2 capacitors and the 7H.... chip and the AT29256. The j1 jumper should be a straigt up wire, right? Then where does the resistor go that is supposed to be on R54? If it is supposed to go on R54, where is R54? I can't find it... TIA.

 

R54 is right below J1, unless you're dealing with the -1980 motherboard used on P75 and P72.

 

Is it marked? my roomates isn't... The only thing below j1 is like right next to the chip and unmarked. So if its a -1980 motherboard, how do i chip it?

 

ttt , its my ecu

 

silly rabbit...tricks are for kids. http://www.ecucontrol.com/how_to_mod_my_ecu.htm see if this helps you.

P.S. good job taking alex to the hospital this morning.

That link doesn't have any more details about the R54 resisitor.

 

This picture was taken off PGMFI.ORG.. I put a red box around the J1 and R54. If you look really close you can see the R54 printed on the board

 

Thanks eddyboy,
His ECU looks the exact same, but there is just silicon where the R54 resistor should be, no solder points. So that block of 4 solder points is just two, for the J1 jumper...

 

The top two LEFT AND RIGHT are for J1
and the bottom two LEFT AND RIGHT are for R54

There is no bottom two, thats the problem.

ACK... Sorry man in that case I don't know what u can do i've only done 2 ECUS so far in my chipping career. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in on this.

Me too.

No problem, thanks for trying to help at least.

 

this is a really dumb question but i also does say new user under my name, how do you post pic's i have a pic that could show you how there is no r54 under the J1 , and its starting to **** me off, please help

 

wow search function is useful, hopefully this **** works



and i would resize it but i wanted it to be close so you could see what im talking about , and i dont know how

ttt, i want to lower my vtec!

 

273 on processor, indicating USDM GSR code dump.

Nice P28 there!

How about we not worry about an R54, as you don't have one, and follow the rest of the chipping instructions as best as you can.

 

shouldent i have a r54 tho, why dont i, and we followed threw with the rest of the instructions and burned a chip and the chip didnt work , but the car still started and ran but none of the changes in uberdata occured, im really confused

 

Well, looking at the picture you posted above, I can tell you right off why you're still running on the stock 273 code dump located in the main processor.

Check your work, stunna, what did you do wrong?

 

that is what i would like to know, any ideas, anyone?

 

i wont make you guess....you put a resistor in J1 instead of a jumper.

 

Bah, you're no fun Keebler... when you keep someone hanging 12+ hours over an answer on something like this they sometimes get desperate and check over their work thoroughly.

 

i will say it was a dumb mistake, however i guess he was lucky i was in a good mood when i woke up today.

 

I've made a lot of dumb mistakes on my road to knowing how to do this stuff... at the time there weren't *nearly* so many other people to turn to and I had to figure out what I did wrong myself. I'm not trying to criticise anybody, but I personally learned to rely on myself and to check over my own work and to trust my abilities. The more you figure it out yourself, the more you have confidence in your abilities, the less you stress about the work you're doing, and the easier it is for you to think clearly and DO the "hard" stuff.

I have a for anybody who tries, and I wasn't trying to withhold an answer here. I just felt this was an easy to solve problem if the guy had gotten a good night's sleep, some morning coffee, and done a few minutes of netsearching/thinking.

 

First off, i was drunk when i posted, my roomate wouldn't let me go to the bars until i posted the question about his ECU, so yeah, its a P72, not a P28.

I did realize that i put a resitor in the position of the jumper, but i figured it would just do a voltage check or whatever for the J1 jumper to enable external ROMs. I'm about to change that resistor to a wire, hopefully that will fix the problem. I was also confused why there wasn't an R54 resistor at all, i wanted to make sure i didn't fry and ECU that wasn't mine.

Keebler and J. Davis, thanks for your help.
