So we had it running(not well but it ran), then some retart sparked wires together "accidentally" now its dead. It cranks forever but we have no spark or fuel (no power to the coil in teh dizzy, or to the fuel pump). I searched and poeple say main relay, but i checked it, opened it up and its seems alrgiht i guess... All the fuses under the hood are good, and i am pretty sure that its not a blow fuse under the dash. So waht teh hell si up? we want this to run so we can get home!!!!

 

pass out time bump

 

try to switch ecu.

 

tried that, even opened the h22 ecu up, and looks okay

 

Which other ECU did you try?

 

tried the stock cx ecu, would that even start it?

 

Yeah it should. It till idle funny but it will still start it.

 

this is my car... we tried all the fuses, nothing, we looked for messed up wires, nothing, and the ecu, nothing. i cracked open the ecu and it looked good, no shorts. i picked up a main relay today, so we are gonna try that out too. does anyone have any other ideas?

 

Try a new distributer maybe you ruined it.

 

Just came out of the same issue,...

it'll be either your ecu or the main relay, cause i thought it was my dizzy, but after using all the old parts and testing with voltage meter against a brand new dizzy setup, they all gave the same reading.

I didn't think one person could be so un-lucky, so i gave the p13 (p72 previously) a shot and low and behold..spark/fuel and cranked right over...

 

hmmm, well we tried a new ecu, the stock cx ecu. And it still did not start, then again we did not crank it enough for the fuel to run through the lines.

 

i feel like DxTrix's avatar...

Thats what i felt like doing to you after you stopped your car from starting

 

alright, well vince's dad found a fuse we missed and replaced it, so now i feel like DxTrix's avatar even more... but whats important is the bitch is running!! but it still won't rev past about 2500 rpms. I am also throwing codes 3, 10, and 41. i don't think these codes would be making the car shut off after 2500 rpm, but does anyone know for sure? the codes are IAT, MAP sensor, and O2 sensor.

 

fix the codes, sounds like you got osme wiring issues that are cuasing it to go on the backup rom on the ecu....you eitehr got stuff plugged in worng or got wres crossed up when you rewired it all...

 

backup ROM?? so if i fix the codes it might straighten out? does it run like that when it is on the backup ROM?

 

backup rom also known as safe mode. Get your codes fixed especially map sensor without it your car will not rev and run like crap..

 

The map and the tps plug were backwards. The way the hasport harness came it looked to be that they were in the right spot, but they weren't! so now its off to solve the smaller problems.. it revs past 2500 now!!

 

Cool..

happens soooo often its not even funny anymore, glad you found the problem.

 

so why didn't anyone tell us to try that????
