alot of people say to use the rsx tuned map on the ep3 type r
edited from 3 to 2 to work

i tried this today

with 1.2.2.2 and its rsx tuned stock map

when hitting 6800 rpm the car spluttered and died (totally died)
as if the fuel was cut off

it started back up fine

i thaught ah well so much for that map
and loaded the k20a2 civic type r tuned map back in

that did exactly the same thing

ive been messing with it all day

fitted the factory ecu back in worked great so wasnt engine problems

in the end i did a erase ecu (clear security)
and re uploaded the map its working fine now
also the rsx map works fine

any idea's why it did this

luckily i was logging at the time

Probably because you tried editing a calibration with notepad which it specifically states you should not do.

The first line of the calibration file is 'Please don't edit this file directly'. You can't help but see this as you edit the calibration. Please, tell me why you ignore this warning? I'm not being hostile or sarcastic, I just want to know what I need to do in order to communicate a request to people, and get them to follow it.

With RE4 I ended up adding a checksum to the calibration.

alot of people with ep3's do this
because the rsx has a wide band sensor its tuned better
the consensus seems to be that the base ep3 tuned type r map
isnt tuned as well as the rsx map

it seems odd that the map was changed back to the ep3 type r map
and it kept doing it

and didnt clear up until i totally cleared out the ecu
both the typer and the rsx map both run now
