I'm not sure if this should be in the instalation or tuning forum. but here it goes..

My question is,,, is their some kind of limp mode that the Hondata has if it's not getting info from the chip?

Here's the problem...
Saterday morning I went to start the car and it had a check engine light and the car ran like poop. I pulled the codes and the check engine light was solid, but the ABS light was flashing me codes??? non of them were honda codes (17, 83.. wierd ones) plugged the connecter back in and the car ran fine???
that same day while I was driving, the check engine light flicked on for like 1/2 a sec. then went away. Then 10 min later, it came on at a light and the car stalled??? I started it back up and drove to dinner. THe car was running full rich and in open loop all the time (Autometer A/F gauge showed that). THen I drove back to my grandperents for 5min same condition. When I started the car to leave, no engine light??? ran perfectly. THis has happened a couple times in the last few days. The hondata was installed only a week ago.

Sorry for the long story, but that's my problem.... Any ideas?

Check to see if you have a loose eeprom, or that all the legs of the eeprom are making contact to the 28 pin socket.

Check to see if you have any loose wires in the 4 pin connector plug, connecting to the ecu to the blue box.

If it isnt any of the above, it could be poor soldering on the ecu board.
