Whats the deal guys . I am new to hondata so let me tell you my situation Before I brought my ecu to the local hondata dealer I had a crome chip in the car so i could start the car with the larger injectors and the car started and ran without going into limp mode. Now that I went to the dealer with the same ecu that ran my car to have the s100 installed I get the ecu back and the ecu is in limp mode i brought it back to them and they redo it and say it should be good now I try it again no good. This happened 3 times already is there a way i can look at something that will be a give away as to something being done the wrong way or something any help is appreciated

s100
310cc injectors
all-motor 2.1 lter

I could think of two causes for your problem.

Is the s100 blinking when you turn on the ignition? Should be a steady light.

1. It could be a bad rom image. Did your dealer install a basemap?

2. You forgot to remove J12(USDM) or J4(JDM) in the ECU. When you turn on the ignition, the Hondata rom will look for the S100. If the said swith wasn't cut then the ECU can't see the S100.

reinstall the crome chip. if it works with that then i should look at the two problems stated.
Lastly, check for the solders.

Are they tuning your car on the dyno?
