k24 swap issues.

[NVD52K]

Hey guys,

just wandering with my k24 swap why it always has a check engine light come on once it is at a certain temperature?

If i have parked on idle on a hot day. the check engine light comes on and i cant drive the car over 4k rpm, has anyone got a clue what the problem is or wether its just a sensor?

does the engine overheat after the CEL comes on?

OEM or Aftermarket ECU?

what car is this k24 in?

[aaronng]

What is the CEL code?

What is the CEL code?

x2 its like finding a needle in a haystack on fire
need codes mate

I couldn't pass 4k rpm and had a engine light because my battery didnt have enough charge.
Just a thought.

the k24 is in a integra, and it doesnt over heat when the cel light comes on stays at the same temperature although just doesnt let me pass 4k until i drive for a while and then after the cel light turns off. it only happens when it gets hot and the car is just stationary at the lights or whilst stop and start traffic, i also believe the car is running a hondata k pro

What is the CEL code?

im not sure what the cel code is. all i know that once it gets hot the engine light comes on and then stops me from going over 4k. after slowly driving around it then turns off and works fine again. so confused!

Ok

Its obvious why u cant drive past 4k rpm - this is bcoz the ecu is detecting an error and activating the limbo/safe mode.

It could be anything mate. If u have a kpro then plug this into a laptop and check the error/diagnostics section and u will see what is causing the limbo.

Possibilities,
- engine is knocking
- a/f ratio too rich or lean
- map or o2 sensors
- injectors
- fuel delivery
- ignition/cam
- speed sensors

Plus more ..

Take it to a tuner who can troubleshoot for you - if u dont know how to use the hondata sw.

Download the Kpro software onto a laptop and plug it into the ecu. Then tell us what the code is.

where did the swap get done

Clear your inbox

[ECU-MAN]

increase the temp warning by 5deg in KManager or disable the warning. (ensure your engine is not overheating)
this will be giving you code 11 IIRC

[NVD52K]

inbox is cleared.

guys if i download this kpro software into the laptop. will the codes come up only when the CEL comes on? or will it just come up when it detects there is a problem?

i bought the car with the swap in it. and
im looking to sell the car soon hence building my house, but i want to sell the car with out the problem. it doesnt happen all the time only when its a hot day or when driving in stop start traffic.

You will see the errors regardless if the CEL light comes on or not. It stores known, current or previous errors.

Make sure you also turn on data logging option within the SW.

what is the SW? also what kind of plug do you need for the ecu, is it just a USB?

do this

easiest way

will tell u straight up

SoftWare (SW)

I think the cable is USB to HAB like this one below

[u mad?]

seriously, download the kmanager or instal with disk. update. instal drivers ect just follow the promts

google it if u no compute

ok guys im gonna go purchase the cable, download the kmanager will let you know how it goes. lol

[Vvvtec]

Good stuff mate, you will see just how easy it is to use.

[Rage King]

just dont start changing parameters in the tune/maps especially if you dont know what your doing.
