Alright, the fuel pump and ecu swap didnt fix my problem (however, I do like the 03 ecu a lot more than the old one I had. The idle is higher and it deals with the A/C a lot better).

It has come down to me running N/A until I can figure out what the **** is up with my engine. I suspect this problem is not the S/C and I have an underlying problem somewhere. So, tomorrow the fun begins. In t-minus 6hours I am going to do a leakdown and compression test. I am then going to borrow a honda diagnostic machine for 1 hour to compare outputs of sensors vs their input to my ecu. Then, depending on what data I get, I am going to repin my ecu plug and replace my radioshack wire with honda ecu color matched wire and reinstall yet another swapped esm box.

Now that could fix my problems but the way my luck is going it definitely won't. So, I am asking if anyone will lend a hand and lend some parts. I want to check my coils individually and my MAP sensor. Would anyone be kind enough to lend their parts so I can see if any fix my delayed start and stumble. The MAP is two screws and the coil packs are one screw.. PLEAASEE. They would only be out of your car for a few minutes.

 

Alex... I would be willing to lend a hand, as well as, allow you to use my parts. Unfortunatley, I'm booked all day Saturday. Will Sunday work? If not, I'm off 5 days over Labor Day weekend so we can do it then.

 

Have you considered Hondassport's mod (see link) You know the one.

 

Yes, I've considered it but I didn't want to add anything until I get my current problems solved. FYI- I absolutely love the 03 ecu. This idle control is great.

 

Someplace around here I have an extra intake manifold Alex. I just took a quick look for it and it wasn't where I expected it to be. If the Throttle Body is still on it, there may be a MAP sensor that you can borrow.

I am now running N/A again. My car is getting some wacky MAP signals. I removed the ESM box and replaced the pins and wires with Honda OEM wire. Even after that, the signals readings the ecu takes are scewed by about 7in/hg. To think that all of this had to do with a faulty MAP.. That is my luck.

Greg I would love to try your MAP if you find it. 8BALL- I'll PM you about the coil packs to find out when your most convenient day is.

 

I'm off Friday - Tue (inclusive). Friday would work best for me with Tuesday my second option. If you can wait that long, either tomorrow or Wednesday night.

Just let me know.

 

I am interested in this also , let me know .........Pete
