Start checking the fuel suppy system. Pump, lines, filter, rail, injectors. Pump could be bad, lines or filter or injectors or rail could be clogged. I don't know. Start at the front and work your way back after making sure your pump is kicking on.

Sometimes a faulty code get thrown. You know what the code was, so reset the ECU and see if it ever comes back. If it doesn't then there isn't a problem, if it comes back the second time then you can really start worrying. Until it comes back just be prepared for something to be wrong. ie: have some funds for a fuel pump, etc. If it doesn't come back then hey, you just saved all the money and you can spend it on something else!

na, if you are highly modified. or have alot of fuel mods, this can be normal. I have this code all the time. For Me, it is cause I am running rich. And my o2 sensor is probly cover with carbon and/or unburnt fuel. Much like a fouled out sparkplug.

Tuning on hondata s200

I was schedualed to put it on the dyno at 11am wednesday, when i get there, i wait around for a few

Everything is goign smoothly, about 10 mintues to plug everything in and get ready to go..

He starts writin me a new map, once we have the new map ready to be burned to the chip, we run into problems..

My car started throwing a CEL everytime we started it, after trying to fix it for about an hour he finally says that his laptop/programs are nto working, and were done.

Bill said that the computer is not letting him fully burn the program onto the chip, for some wack reason
He then told me he didnt want to waste any more of my time and i drove home still untuned.

Never made it to one pull

When was the fuel filter last changed? Did the CEL originate when you were accelerating hard? I ask this because debris can pack in a filter at high flow rates and block the flow. When the car is shut off and flow ceases, the debris can unpack and the symptoms temporarily go away.
