Re: need help asap
 

what are we looking at in the pics?

Re: need help asap
 

q101 owns you. most of the time its a bad ground that causes it. On rare instances ive seen people pop them from shitty stereo installs

Re: need help asap
 

its actually Q31. is this repairable?

Re: need help asap
 

OH SHIIT! lol, i see it now

Re: need help asap
 

---- your right, q101 is for vtec on a 11f board. im bad with numbers lol. it can be repaired from a parts board aslong as the traces arent bunr too bad

Re: need help asap
 

so my friend tried my ecu and it still worked when he put his chip in. maybe my chip is toast? wtf is going on here.

Re: need help asap
 

just get a new one you clown. they are a dime a dozen.

Re: need help asap
 

Ive rocked two diff. ECU's with fried Q31's, and noticed no problems. Id do reburn of your chip and see what happens. Did any traces around Q31 get damaged?

Re: need help asap
 

what would cause this to happen tho?

Re: need help asap
 

Any redneck Nascar stickers in close proximity!

Re: need help asap
 

hey now those stickers are gone

Re: need help asap
 

lol

OK so the plot thickens. so tonight I throw on a valvecover to rad support ground cause i didnt have one. throw in my ecu and chip and boom it starts. I drive it a little and then go back into my driveway and put my boost controller back on. as soon as i connect the vac lines on the manual boost controller (GFB) it taps the firewall and it seems like taht second it turns off

Re: need help asap
 

Are you trying to say you think it was grounding through your boost controller? Sounds like you've got a nice short somewhere.

Re: need help asap
 

i have no idea. I was also thinking that maybe its the inline radioshack resistors because now when i crank it while it has the problem it smells like gasoline

Re: need help asap
 

ok so I pulled the plugs and they are covered in fuel. car has new plug wires, cap and rotor. Put new sparkplugs in and it reved a little better but still was breaking up. Tried my friends chip and it reved smoother and I was able to sort of drive it but it was all bog but was able to boost but then got worse again so i limped it home. any ideas?

Re: need help asap
 

swap your ------- ecu

Re: need help asap
 

distributor maybe?

Re: need help asap
 

Have you tried another ecu yet?

Re: need help asap
 

:y

Re: need help asap
 

nigwads can you not read Im thinking dizzy cause the car had done this same problem sporadically in the past but I never thought anything of it. or maybe tps

Re: need help asap
 

My old EK had a intermitent CEL and bog. Restart and it was fine. Come to find last week the conversion harness has a loose wire. Moral is to check that ---- bag harness you have. If I remember correctly your cars harness was an abortion at best.

Re: need help asap
 

BTW, Q31 controls the EVAP Purge Control Solenoid...---- if you need that, for emissions only if you even bother to hook it up.

Seen lots of them fried when someone plugs the PCS into the wrong sensor...

Lots of things to check...coil, ignitor, plug wire resistance.

Give it the wiggle test. Start the car, let it idle and start wiggling wires around, especially grounds (seems like you have a ground issue) and see where the motor starts acting funny or changes. Then narrow it down if that helps you find anything...

Re: need help asap
 

found out yesterday it was just a loose connection to the harness on the 2.5 bar
