Weird chipping issue.
 

I chipped a P06 and coverted it to VTEC for my car. I tested it on a OBDII car converted to OBDI with VTEC. It gave a solid check engine and no codes. I put it in my OBD0 car converted to OBDI and I get no codes. What do you think the problem is? So it can only run in an OBD0 car that is converted for some reason? Its frustrating me. I always test my ecu work on my buddies car because its VTEC and never seen anything like this. Any help would be appreciated.

Is the OBD0 car vtec? If not, perhaps there could be a problem with the areas you added the vtec components to?

I used the same chip that was in the VTEC car in mine and switched with a good ship I just burned. I tried the chip in my own car with no CEL and I tried the completely wrong VTEC chip and got no CEL for VTEC codes. Maybe it is the VTEC. I should make a NON VTEC map and try it in his car.

I just cleaned up all stray solder and went over all the joints again. I will try it tomorrow.

Good luck <H-T thumbup>

Had an ECU returned to me last week. I tested it on my vehicle and it was fine. Then gave it to someone else and they couldn't get it to work. I have yet to test it, I am swampped with ----.

90% of the time it is user error on the part of the buyer. But if you tried it yourself it isn't an option I guess.

Make sure the OBD2 vehicle has the correct conversion harness. Remember, 99-00 HX's need the OBD2A harness.

Re: Weird chipping issue.
 

This car has the correct harness. I did all that myself. It used to be my EK. I try all my ECU's in it. I took the ECU in question and ran it in my car last night and it ran perfect. I am going to load a non VTEC map on the chip and try it in the EK and see if it still throws a CEL.

Re: Weird chipping issue.
 

Check the harness carefully...if it isnt getting the proper amount of voltage or if any of the grounds are loosely hooked it can cause a solid CEL...only other way is bad soldering or bad chip...which it seems you have eliminated.

It turned out to be the VTEC portion. I burned a non vtec map and there was no CEL. I just sold it as a chipped P06. No big deal. Thanks for the help guys.
