i converted my car from obd2 to obd1 and im running a chipped p28. of course i hook up our snap on scan tool to pull codes using the obd2 plug and nothing. i have the blue 2 wire plug by my ecu which i thought i could throw a jumper wire in the get my codes to flash but no such luck. also no 3 wire plug to hook up to my hon-1 adapter. need help pulling codes! thanks!
you should definitely be able to get the flash codes off the dash by jumping the two pin plug. if not, something is surely wrong. and the scanner port is useless now that the obd1 computer is in there. but you know that now.
someone told me i must have the car running or keep the key on if it stalls to get the codes from an obd1 ecu. something like they dont store in the history like an obd2? im going to try the jumper wire again....
thats weird. for some reason i thought a non flashing cel, when the jumper is correct means the ecu is bad. But if the car is starting and running than than wouldnt make a terrible amount of sense, the car is starting and running correct ?..ive never had a problem getting the codes from my car, it a 97 civic converted to obd1, i just jump the connector and get the code no problem.
Another problem I've run into is this. My car is a DX and I swapped in a JDM D16a which is equivalent to our D16Y5 VTEC-E. I was using the stock ecu with a vafc for vtec control. Now that I have the chipped P28 I can do away with the Apexi and let the ecu take care of vtec engagement. Problem is I'm not sure if I run the vtec selenoid wire to my ecu or the jumper harness and what pin. I have access to Alldatapro at my work but It's starting to become useless with the conversions and boosting the car. Thanks!
so is the cel on while the car is running? And with it running you put the jumper in and what happens, it just stays solid? Is the chip in the right way?
i think its in the right way?!? would the car even run if it was flipped around? and yes the cel is on while the car is running but i havent tried jumping the clip while its running. i usually throw the jumper on before i start it. should i jump it after i get it started?
yes it can be in backwards...the car might run, ive never done it so im not positive. The little half moon cutout on the chip should match the white outline on the board under the chip.
Start it, wait for the cel, then jump it (it might work the other way, its been a while)
I can see the little half moon on the side of the chip but the hinge is hiding the the actual board. Haha thought I was better off taking a photo so you guys can figure it out!
tunergurus on ebay sold me the ecu and supposedly chipped it. has it been converted to vtec? guess with a little research i could find that out myself but why not just ask the expert!
I cant believe a simple jumper on J1 wasn't installed. From what you guys can see, what other components are missing? Also is this ECU useless for turbo as is. I've done a little research and essentially the VTEC map is your boost map, correct me if I'm wrong?
if the motor isnt vtec, you dont need a vtec ecu to use it with a turbo. Im too lazy to look what motor youre using though. So with a datalogging header and a jumper on j1, that ecu should work fine for a non-vtec motor.
Well it is vtec-e. D16a or our version of the D16y5 with roller rockers. When I was N/A I just used a APEXi VAFC for VTEC engagement with the P2E (DX) ECU. If I have a VTEC basemap on the EEPROM do I need to have all the VTEC components on the ECU? I was still thinking about using my APEXi to take care of VTEC and have it engage just before I start making boost.
Spoke to the guy I got the ecu from and the J1 jumper is on the bottom of the board. But his selling title was very misleading, making me think that the ecu was converted when it wasn't. Oh well! Ordering the parts and converting it myself.
