Send an email to support <at> hondata.com with a brief description of the problem and a link to this thread and we will get back to you with further instructions.
I had purchased a fresh ECU for Hondata to chip so I could drive around and goto work. Following instructions that I've been reading on months leading up to this, I successfully install Kpro ECU and upload basemap, then the car wouldn't start. Although I'm kinda noob, I was at a shop (just finished porting RBC) which has experience in tuning k series engines. The guy was kind enough to run through a couple troubleshoots--trying different things-- but it kept throwing up a ton of error codes
The guy immediately questioned the Kpro. We put in my stock ECU and the car fired right up. I called Hondata next and the associate there thought I was retarded because they test all of the ECUs they send out, including mine which he verified. He suggested I install Kpro again and erase maps, then reinstall base maps. I tried that numerous times just now and it didn't work. He said, even if stock ECU works there could still be electrical issues. But that doesn't add up. I'm freaking out because I'm currently runnin super lean with a ported RBC And full bolt sons
Also, my engine is completely stock. I have full bolt ons including ported RBC.
