    98 ex dlc scanner will not link to ecu

    you're right, i misread your post smh. unfortunately i don't have another honda readily available to test but i know that the scanners that i have used are in working order by testing on other make vehicles and they very well should work on hondas. no i have not checked either of those, but...

    98 ex dlc scanner will not link to ecu

    as my post stated, my code reader was reading fine with the p75 ecu initially. but something happened and now it will no longer link.

    98 ex dlc scanner will not link to ecu

    i meant to add that to my post, my apologies. i know i can read the codes using the obd1 paperclip method but id prefer to have the ability to use live data. Also my emissions is due so i will need the dlc to connect to the ecu. So far I've used 3 different scanners. my cheap one that I've...

    98 ex dlc scanner will not link to ecu

    yes, i swapped them out, unplugged the negative battery terminal for 10 minutes to be sure that the ecu would reset and it still would not link. however i did not run the engine and I've read that this may cause issues with the reset? even my cheap $15 scanner always worked with that ecu.

    it was an obd2b p2t ecu for that engine. i just used a jumper harness.

    98 ex dlc scanner will not link to ecu

    Ive done a pretty extensive amount of research on this problem and decided to post here when all else failed i have a 98 civic ex that I've owned for two years. during those 2 years it had a b16a2 running a d16y8 engine harness and it always would read codes fine without any issue. about 3...

    B16a2 hesitant, then stalled and died, wouldn't start.

    Okay so today i cleaned the Iacv with brake cleaner, map sensor oring looked brand new. fps voltage was good. i opened the distributor and one of the connections on the icm was falling off.. i guess when the car died and then abruptly stopped it knocked the connector off and it wouldn't start...

    B16a2 hesitant, then stalled and died, wouldn't start.

    Okay so I just got tags for my b16a2 swapped 98 ex. Last night I was out running around driving it and at the time it was only throwing a code for the second O2 sensor (not wired in) I noticed as I was driving it seemed very hesitant up until 3k and as soon as it hit 3k you could feel a...

    d16y8 engine harness with no evap purge solenoid plug?

    Bump there has to be a plug for a purge solenoid SOMEWHERE whether its on the engine harness or somewhere else. Obviously all cars that have a purge solenoid need a way to power them. Ive done a TON of research on the subject and still have no answers, Just threads that eventually died with no...

    d16y8 engine harness with no evap purge solenoid plug?

    Bump If nothing else, does anyone know how to wire the purge solenoid into the ecu? i can pull the plug off a car at the junkyard

    d16y8 engine harness with no evap purge solenoid plug?

    But no, all the parts I needed for the ex I had to buy online separately, I bought the 98 as a rolling chassis, it had a gsr motor in it. All that it really had in the engine bay when I bought it was brake lines and the gsr harness (that I sold). Everything else came from the 99 ek that I pulled...

    d16y8 engine harness with no evap purge solenoid plug?

    Actually, Someone correct me if I'm wrong, But since you're using the Jdm b16a, as long as you use the Jdm ecu with it and not a usdm ecu you shouldn't even need an Evap canister. I don't think the Jdm ecus even look for them!

    d16y8 engine harness with no evap purge solenoid plug?

    2 weeks ago i swapped an obd2b b16a2 into an obd2a 98 ex. I bought a 96 ex d16y8 engine harness off of ebay and then an obd2a to 0bd2b jumper harness so i could retain my p2t ecu. I noticed that my engine was throwing a couple codes, one being p0450 which is an emissions related code and then i...

    Need Help! Obd2b engine/harness/ecu in Obd2a Car

    Yes sir! i think I'm going to just buy the y8 harness. but I'm gutting the coupe to part it out so ill just keep the dash/interior harness just in case i ever do decide to convert to obd2b. I'm doing the 99-00 dash swap anyway so once i get that far i might just decide to convert it all. I...

    Need Help! Obd2b engine/harness/ecu in Obd2a Car

    Yeah i figured! still new to this hahaha. Once its historic or i do my last emissions test ill go obd1 as for now I'm just going to daily drive it the b16 was getting like 30-35 mpg in the 99! I just want everything to work correctly first, can't daily drive if the radiator fan doesn't come on...

    Need Help! Obd2b engine/harness/ecu in Obd2a Car

    Ive narrowed it down and i think i have two choices(that do not involve converting to obd1). keep in mind I've read ALOT of forum responses on the subject and everyone was giving different answers so i don't know what will actually work and what will not 1.) buy a 96-98 ex harness(d16y8)...
