Help, Car wont start after Reflash.....
Posted: Wed Sep 29, 2010 11:13 pm
I just bought an hondata FP for use on my south american Civic Si.
Through the FP manager, and forums got around to see how to install the FP, drivers and such, and throught the Hondata Forum was helped by site adm. hondata and spunkster so i started to the right base calibrations to use according to my ecu part #.
So up to there it was ok. The problem i am facing is that i followed all the instructions and chose a base setting, connected the FP to the OBD port, locked the FP, and then uploaded the base cal, no the problem is that the car didnt start anymore!!!!.
Tried another basemap, and still the same.
The car cranks but doesnt start.
Tried then to unlock the FP and a message indicating that i have to return to the stock setting appears and isnt letting me to unlock it.
Ive tried loading a stock basemap through the FP manager (Online: return ecu to stock) and it isnt letting me to unlock it....
I then checked if i had connection to the ecu. So when pluged to the usb port the power indicator is on, but when pluged only to the OBD port the green power indicator, goes on and off, it isnt continous. Also, tried to upload pressing the program button and nothing happened, the program light didnt come on.
At last when i noticed that when I turned the ignition to I the flashpro in the FP manager, under the ECU flag, appeared as OBD: connected and ECU: Not detected.... Then when i turned the key to the II position (on) then the OBD; appeared as not connected. BTW at the moment i noticed this the battery power was under 9 volts.
What can I do??
Hope something isnt messed up.
My FP serial number is: FP-SI-US-11931
My ecu number is: 37820-RRD-P11
FP manager version: 1.1.5.6
Car has Vibrant header with hi flow cat, vibrant full catback, oem intake with replacement filter, king motorports overbored TB.
The ecu had been reflashed by a company named Euroboost (in peru), before, (suppose itd somethingsomething like the Hondata reflash) has this something to do with it??
As you can imagine im very worried, from what I know this is the first FP bought in lima, Peru, so i have to sort this with forums help.
Hope you can point me to the right direction and fix this.
