who socketed the ecu?

Velosity Trend's here in Jacksonville

I would take the car back to them to hav ethe ecu looked at and tested in another car. It sounds like a socketing issue.

i've already tested the ecu in my sisters del sol and i have taken it back to VT and they said they could'nt see any thing wrong

Does it say online with the key on? Can you upload a new calibration to the ecu?

i'll check tonight but i think it does, it will show the upload window when i hit upload and when i turn the key on the computer makes the connection sound but i'll look to see if it says online

If it will upload then it sounds like a typical socketing problem.

a socketing problem could come up after 8 months of normal operation also i don't know if this is normal but when it did run "right" if i did'nt let it idle for 30 seconds without toutching the throtle the car would buck at part throtle

You could have a cold solder joint...which is a bad socketing job.

well i just looked at the sodering job that the ever capable Velocity Trend's did on my ecu needless to say here is the pic

you cant see it in the pics as good as in person but all of the spots they sodered are corroding and really look like s***

The socketing of the ecu is the probelm. I would suggest sending hte ecu to Hondata and paying to have it resocketed. The form is at http://www.hondata.com/ecusocketinginfoform.html
