I finally found some time to install the e-manage.


What I initially did was to set the A.A.V values (Start Point to Point5) to display 0 on the Support tools Main Unit setting information by playing with the 5 "knobs" on the Emanage front panel. These were tempered by the previous owner.
I also set the last two knobs (hidden by the cover) to full counter clock wise (7 o'clock)

Jumpers were previously set to 4 - 8 - C

On ignition with engine still off , after around 4 sec the CEL turns on. if i turn off and on the CEL will come straight away. I reset the CEL by removing the battery terminals to try again and still again, after 4sec the CEL turns on.

I checked the parameters and the main unit settings and all seem fine.

I tried cranking the engine and on first impression it idles fine at around 2000rpm (still cold) and after 3/4 sec , the engine hesitates and switches off.

The strange thing is that the CEL comes on with engine still off

Anyone knows what the problem might be ?

 

What code is stored?

 

CEL code. I do not have a reader

 

Having the CEL will help you figure out what the problem is.

 

I would bet it is a 1259? Any takers?

 

Is that Vtec engagement failure ?

I removed the E-mange out of the loop and the car is working fine and vtec is functioning normal.

I unticked all the MAP settings from the Parameter Settings, shouldn't this disable the MAP settings including VTEC ?

 

Yes it is a Vtec failure. But it is electical, atleast in my case it was. So recheck your wiring.

 

Very unlikly, I bought a ready made harness from Boomslang. I spliced in the following for datalogging
Knock C22
AITS C25
TPS C27
RPM A19
Power B1
Ground B2

Did not touch any VTEC cables

 

Just been looking at the wire harness. There is no Cable attached to C10 coming from the engine and the ECU is fed from the purple cable from the e-manage harness..

Is this right ?

 

If C10 is connected on the ECU side (plug side) and not the header side (as seen below) It should be wired right. Check the WTS wires too.
