Hey guys, just bought a "hondata" ecu from ebay and there is a wire band sticking out... brown, red, orange, and yellow.... but anyways i put it into my wifes car today to see what it did... and it idled funny and would bog down when i would go to take off.... just wondering what that could be... oh and the check engine light would stay on... havn't had a chance to read it yet but... just wondering what it could be.... also i was wondering if i could just change the chip in it... cause it looks like i could just pull it out w/o desoldering it.... any help would be great... TIA...

 

what is your wifes car? and what ECU did you get, also what kind of car do you have?

 

sorry... it's a 94 lx with a 95 ex engine... i have a gude p28 in there right now... but wanted to see what this one did... the ecu i bought is a p28

 

ok i just went out to my wifes car and put the ecu back in to try and read CEL and NOTHING..... it just stayed on but the srs light was blinking..... i tried reving it and it still boged down but i got it up to 4 grand and it just stayed there and boged back down.... think i got ripped..... i'm gonna email this guy tonight....

 

You need to program the Hondata, and install the rest of the kit.
Push button, clutch switch (if you have it).

The check engine light is the shift light with Hondata, something is not set right.
Get your program checked, or reburned.
