being a douchebag would mean calling him every 5 minutes asking questions. Calling once, explaining your situation and telling him what you have observed, etc. is just asking a simple question.

when i was having ecu problems and bridged the plug my cel would stay on constant. make sure the ecu dont have any moisture in it and maybe its starting to corrode one of the pins or something?

yea, this happens to my car sometimes too... runs fine but the light still comes on. i have a venom power module and it only seems to go on when its plugged in. anyone got any suggestions?

oo and i have a stock d16y7 by the way.

yeah true...just seemed like a simple problem. usually i can figure something like this out or get an answer from a buddy but everyone is stumped. i called denis and he said he isnt sure either. It doesnt go into limp mode or anything when its on so he said its nothing to be worried about. maybe the ecu so im going to pick up a new one maybe that'll work but other than that he's not sure. Eric told me to hook a lab top up to it and see if i can figure it out from there. Who knows everything seems fine so im not going to worry about it till it starts to act up or i can figure out what exactly is causing the problem.

word, first thing i would do is test it by swapping out your ecu for one that you know is good and then go from there. Sometimes there are codes that are just strange and its the ecu being wonky (its a scientific term

). my friends CRX had the right ECU, but it was throwing a code that didnt even pertain to his model at all. strange. keep us posted!

maybe that ECU you have in there is a junk ECU ... fight the kid you got it from. ahem...

Mine, on the otherhand, is working fine

in all seriousness, if it is crap - we'll just swap back and load the right maps.

again old thread sorry.

I had this same problem with my sedan, and the RHD hatch that we built at my old shop....and turns out the mystery code was 43-Fuel Supply Sytem. it would come on then clear it self.

both on Crome, Uberdata, and Hondata....once we got a good and solid tune it quit. i looked to be when the map called for more fuel the Ecu wouldn't see it right away or a delay in the map caused this code.
