Just finished a search and come up with nothing.

Picked up my S200 today, got home and laid out everything. Verfying all parts were there. DID NOT open any bags.

Now according to the instructions, it looks like I am missing the 2 ceramic disc capacitors. It also looks like I have an extra resistor. Tan with a single black strip????

And lastly, HOW IN THE WORLD DO YOU DETERMINE PROPER ORIENTATION OF THE CHIP SETS??? What is up, down, left, right, or BACKWARDS????? The instruction on the disc it came with are vague at best. "If you plug it in backwards it could damage the chip". So what is right????

Please help
Thanks

hondata doesn't supply the capacitors, i don't know why, but they don't, you can pick them up at any electronics store. Radio shack should have them. i believe you can use the one with the black stripe as a jumper, but it doesn't really matter, i like to use a removeable pin. hope that helps

As far as orientation goes, if you open your ecu, you can see the outline of where it goes and one side has a notch in it, make sure all the notches match up.

I posted this same question on Honda-tech and someone said I dont have to use the capacitors. Is this correct.

In the search I did on hondata, some one posted a question as to where to find replacment caps. because he lost one of the two it came with???

Whats the deal? Guess I'll call Hondata Monday or something.

You do not need the capacitors.

Exactly. One black stripe stands for a resistance value of zero ohms, making it a straight connection and perfect for use as a jumper.

I was in the same boat - wondering why the caps were not installed in my S200. I later came up with the same point you did, that the caps were not needed. But I want to add this, check if the J12 jumper was removed.
I did not chip my ECU and after looking it over the J12 was still there. I removed it myself. Just something to keep in mind.
