ok i checked that link out, followed its exact directions and i burned the chip, installed it in the ecu turned the key on an a solid check engine light and the hondata blinking.

Check that the ROM isn't installed backwards and that all your solder connections are good.

How are you creating the ROM image?

i made absolute sure the chip wasnt backwords and the soldering job looks good to me (hondata did the ecu). still have blinking box.

i am going through rom editor picking a custom program (adjusting injector size) then saving it. then i go to my pocket programmer software, load buffer (changing from hex to bin) then burning the chip.

Do not use custom programs. Go to file new, use the wizard to select your ecu type, then select one of the stock maps and make your injector changes to that and save the file. You should not have to convert anythign from hex to bin, as all Romeditor files are bin files.
