- what vehicle you have
--FC Rx7
- serial number of your K-Pro
--67069
- version of software being used (from Help, About)
--4.6.1.0
- ECU part number (starts with 37820) and serial number (the number under the part number)
--PN:37820-PNF-A03
--SN:2091-207375 0C07
- KManager version (not 'the latest')
--4.6.1.0 Build 4083
- the calibration (as an attachment)
--See attached
- a datalog of a problem (as an attachment)
--See attached but its probably not helpful
- anything about the car which has been modified from stock which may affect the ECU (don't include what sort of rims you have nor stereo etc).
--It's a K24 swap so most everything lol but I'll try and list the relevant parts:
---JDM K24a2 block
---Kpro4 ECU
---Kpower RWD harness
---Homemade chassis conversion Harness
---550cc Deutschwerks Injectors
---Skunk2 4 bar MAP sensor
---Kpower RWD intake manifold
- when and where you got the K-Pro
--I bought the K-pro new from a friend that owns a Honda shop in Denver and sells them. Bought it a few months ago, I want to say in July
- a specific description of the problem
--I just completed my Kswap project a few weeks ago and had it tuned. The car was running flawlessly for a week, the weekend after getting the car tuned I took it to get washed. I noticed after the wash that when I started the car the charge light didn't completely turn off, it instead was very faintly lit. I shut the car off to dry it and when i came back and put the key in the ign and switched it to on but not start, the check engine light was illuminated now. I took the key out of the ignition and finished drying off the car, when I started the car to leave the MIL was no longer lit, but the charge light was still faintly illuminated. Started the drive home and everything was driving fine with my voltage readout on my electric water pump reporting a solid 13.8v from the alternator. About 10 mins into the drive home I pulled up to a light and when I started to pull away the car sputtered and died like I stalled the car. Tried starting the car but it would just turn over without firing, no coughs or anything. After towing the car home I started diagnosing things:
-I got the alt tested since the charge light wasn't completely out and it came back fine.
-Pulled my plugs and they looked fine, however I noticed they were completely dry and didn't smell of fuel so it wasn't getting any fuel.
-verified fuel pressure was a steady 40 PSI at the FPR
-Used an in-line spark tester and had no spark on any cylinders while cranking
-verified all grounds
-tested the coil plugs, all coils were grounded properly, had 12v going to the power wires, however the signal wire on coil one was at a constant 2.4v regardless of cranking. Coils two, three, and four had less than .5v on the signal wire per the FSM
-Plugged my laptop into the k-pro and noticed the K-pro was not reading engine RPM
-I swapped my main crank sensor with another K24 main crank sensor
-No dice
-I swapped my cam position sensors
-No dice
-Verified that all cam and crank sensor plugs had good grounds and power.
-Bench tested the cam and crank sensors to verify that the signal wire was working when passing ferrous metals by them
-Tried replacing all the coils
-No dice
At this point I removed the wiring harness plugs A and B from the ECU to test for shorts in the harness. When I removed the plugs I noticed they were wet, I assume water had seeped through the mesh sleeve on the harness and followed the cables past the firewall down into the ECU connectors. I left the harness plugs undone and removed the ECU to let everything dry for a day. While waiting I checked the harness and didn't find any shorts or breaks in continuity. 2 days after removing the ECU and drying everything out I re-installed the ECU, It still isn't reading engine RPM and as a result I'm still not getting any spark or fuel.
I've quadruple checked every sensor, every plug, and the harness. At this point I'm very certain the ECU got fried from water getting into it and not a sensor/wiring issue. I've opened the ECU and checked all the traces on both the PNF board and the Hondata but I can't see any particularly cooked spots. I don't have any friends or people near me that have Kpro powered cars to try and swap ECUs to see if it fixes it so I'm in a tight spot to continue troubleshooting. Does anyone know of an installer I could send my ECU to in order to have the ECU Bench tested and potentially have the Kpro4 board transferred to another ECU if its fine and the PNF is dead?
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Have you tried your ECU in a known working vehicle?

Re: No fuel or spark after car wash
I have not, I don't know anyone near me with a Kpro powered car to test it in.
