As soon as I get it to pass, I'll be trying to set the readiness codes again with a tune. I understand that the conditions in which the tests need to be performed are fairly specific, but it does seem like I was able to set the EVAP readiness pretty quickly with the Honda code.

 

can you please explain the "honda code"? so just go into flashpro and click "Return ECU to Stock"

Is that what you did? because if so I will throw my OEM catback back on the car and remove the test pipe and then return the ECU to stock and try to see if that will help solve the problems just to pass these stupid emissions lol

 

Yeah I did not like that answer that he gave me, i'm like WTF i thought purchasing your product would help me resolve the issues so pretty much its a waste of money to buy the Hondata because eventually you will have to keep removing the aftermarket parts and putting OEM back on just so you can pass emissions when it should be all done with just a click of a button, since you are already removing the check engine light not sure how this is any different from that

 

That is exactly what I did, the "Return ECU to Stock" menu item. Takes as long as a normal programming (90 seconds or so). I have the full stock exhaust back on the car as well. Just trying to get the cat to go ready.

 

I should mention that I have had all the readiness monitors ready with a Hondata tune in the past (year ago or so) so this is something fairly new. And that was with E85, 4 bar map, and HFC.

 

Just drove it a 172km (106 miles) and have 3 drive cycles logged and I still can not get the CAT and EVAP to complete, I have not put the OEM cat back on there yet but I figure I would take one long drive because I will put another 50 more miles before I head back home and it will be a 4th cycle.

If on this 4th drive cycle it doesn't get resolved, I have a OEM catback with a new O2 sensor laying around so probably just remove my test pipe and throw that back home hope to resolve the issue I will also Return ECU to Stock as well.

 

Jojo. Do you have secondary enabled or disabled? Make sure it's enabled. Either way mine are all enabled and still won't set.

 

I looked into that yesterday and the calibrations have the secondary O2 sensor enabled, and pretty much all other sensors are on for some reason my VSA is disabled lol but I don't think that would have any issues with that.

Just kinda pissed at Hondata as well since they won't give us any answers or solutions about this and they said they have a "TEST" S2000 at their location but I have yet to see any data or information on how they are getting that to pass and what setup they are running.

I can not "RETURN ECU TO STOCK" because I have aftermarket injectors so the car would not even run I am guessing so only way for me to get all this to work is with the setup I have now but I have two options left up my sleeve

1) OEM Catback Installation with Brand New O2 Sensor

2) Spend $900 collect all the receipts and apply for a emissions waiver form application

These are the only two options I have left because other then that I am out of solutions and puzzled at why its not setting.

 

I just saw the thread in the hondata forum and that was in response to "tricking" the system to pass emissions. WTF did you think they were gonna say. "Hey, f*ck you EPA, we wanna get sued, here's how to do it!"? Get real.

 

How long have you guys been driving the car? It took me a few days of normal driving I think for the readiness monitors to set. This is WITH a cat and a nearly stock car. After reading hondata's responses in their forum, it sounds like you guys just gotta drive your car more. Now, for jojo this sucks because obviously that's a catch 22 since it's not registered, but I'd hardly place the blame on hondata for that. Sounds just like an unfortunate situation for you. When you buy a modded car you can come across some headaches. Sounds like you or the previous owner shouldn't have unplugged the battery before ur registration..

Best advice to jojo is put a cat on the car and drive it around for a while. Fill it up, and burn a whole tank of gas.

Edit: Oh ya, one other thing (which is why I said to revert to a more "stockish" rom), did you notice your fan comes on sooner than a stock car? That could cause a problem with the ECU thinking it's not upto temp. A smart thing to do would be to go through a stock rom and change everything back to stock that you possibly can regardless of whether you "think" it'll help or not. There are a lot of variables in the ECU/configuration. Expecting hondata to go through and pick out your problem is lazy. You need to at the least identify the differences and ask hondata if it could cause a problem. If you can't at least do that, then you probably shouldn't have bought the car..
