car is back but with problems

[serpo]

He guys just got my CRX back from crash repair and they took my engine out to re do my chassie, i went to drive it home and I couldnt put it into gear properly so dad said cos its just been sitting there the clutch will stick a bit so thats ok, I went to take off and the engine light came on and thats a brand new engine only done 3,000 KMs and at lights it would idle at 2000 rpm but when I poked the gas a bit in Nutral it would go back to 1000 - 1500 rpm, wahts goin on???

The engine light is tryin to tell u whats wrong

Do an error code check on the ecu

will doing one of those ruin my ecu at all cos im scared

[Bayani]

take the passenger side carpet up; in the foot well - the ecu is there

[serpo]

ye cool but he said "Below , is the basic codes relative to MY civic - and pretty much most hondas from 92-00." what should I do?

[CRXer]

Just turn the ignition key to the 2nd position "ignition ON" & tell us how many times the light in the front of the ecu flashes at u,no need to touch the ecu,dont be scared

[destrukshn]

check that all the plugs in the engine bay are connected.
the ones on the throttle body, intake manifold, exhaust manifold, temp sensors as well that are on the cylinder head.
most probably, they forgot to plug it in.
just take a quick look.

and yeah, if that fails, do the ecu check as well.

thanks guys im waiting for my mate to come over were doing it together lol should be dangerouse lol

[creativepunka]

Take it back to the shop. These shouldnt be your problems.

ye my mate adjusted the clutch for me so its stiff now lol, but engine light is still on and were both worried bout the whole ECU test you guys said, so im ringing the insurance company and telling them whats going on

nice n simple. :thumbsup:

[genkimashi]

Nop... it will not be a problem doing the ecu checking... follow the guide at DIY did by bennjamin....

its a pretty easy job to do... n from there u can determine wats wrong with ur car... as the engine light will come on to show u wats slow...remember to turn ur key to 'ignition on' but not engine start...
but yea... the best is to send ur car back to the workshop to get it done...!!

Cheers

do it man.

the ecu check takes wat 30seconds to plug and run? after i did it for the first time i kept on doing it just to gave my self a peace of mind lol . be a man and do the right thing

but im the sorta go to go off and do it and break somthing lol ill ring machanic now lol

[Zdster]

There really is nothing to break. Just remove carpet to see ecu (dont even have to unscrew the ecu from its mounts) and turn ignition to the 'on' position and count the number of flashes.

[serpo]

!!NEWS FLASH!! ok spoke to the crash repairer he is crappin his dacks lol he doesnt know what he did and is so scared lol I just had a word to him and you know how I have my words hehehehehe, so he said for me to take it to my machanic and hes gonna pay the fees lol even better I recon my machanic is the best, I will engine check it today though just for peice of mind

[steve88]

alot of insurance companies have a 3 month (sometimes more, nrma has 12 months!) assurance period that any fixes too your car are fault free

[serpo]

ok peeps I did the test I got 7 short blips whats that =

[serpo]

is it same with CRX tho?

[CRXer]

yes it is,check your TPS is plugged in well

[serpo]

where is the TPS plug??

there both in, but still engine light

[CRXer]

Does the car still have symptoms or is just the light on?

Try reseting your ecu to see if the light will go away by pulling the "HAZARD FUSE" out for 5 secs located in the engine bay fuse box,its the 10A fuse furthest towards the drivers side if your labelling has gone.

[serpo]

nah like car will somtimes idle at 2000 rpm and ill need to grab peddle abd brint it back toward me to make it go back to normal idle
