ELD fun and games

[h22a accord]

ELD shouldnt affect performance, i had idle issues after i 1st got my swap engine going, i thought i was eld but i had vacuum hoses hooked up incorectly plus i also bypassed some sort of sensor where the vacum hoses go into then out again.

I double checked the vacuum hose diagrams and hooked it up right runs like a dream but eld still throws code.

[VT3C]

I know all the vac hoses are right, the IACV has been serviced, TPS replaced and SET, MAP sensor replaced and wired correctly.. bla bla bla..
believe me LOTS of time and effort spent trying to get it right after the workshop screwed it all up big time..

I mean I could get evan to re-flash the ECU so that it ignores the ELD, but i've come this far and it's only one wire.. if i find that junction etc and then it dont work.. well re-flash away hahah.

the ELD DOES actually effect the idle. it is driven by the alternator / drives the alternator in terms of what the alternator does with it's current.. if the alternator doesnt cope with the electical drain on the system, it wil lactually increase engine speed to enable the alternator to meet the load of the electrics. this is also intertwined with the IACV for cold-start and idle type situations.. thus the irratic idel. i've had the bung IACV idle on my d-series and this is different. you can even see the headlights dim etc with the change in idle and i have no audio system or even air con etc instaled to interfear with the elecrical system.

I do see some functionality to the ELD, so i do prefer to keep it rather than program it out.. but as i said, that's a good last resort.

AUDM Civics never had ELD, so if you cant find the wire your after just kill it off.

[VT3C]

yeah I know the AUS civic's have no ELD.. that's why i've sourced a JDM fuse box WITH an ELD and have thus wired it to the ECU and earth, just need to know how and where to wire it to the PGMFI Main Relay - which AUS Hondas DO have

i'm kinda wanting to get the stock issues sorted and then check out the condition of the motor more thoroghly ( i cant even set the timing with it like this ) then I plan to talk to you about your ECU/Tuning product.

I kinda want to avoid band-aid solutions since i've spent this much $$ on it all..

bump for an old thread - since i bought an ecu from the states i can just ignore this code right?


from what Vt3c has said it affects idle, but others said it doens't.

my idle is shit right now, but that aint the main problem is it?

[ProECU]

ELD WILL NOT EFFECT IDLE.

Its there to detect Load on the electric system, such as turning on headlights, or a/c compressor kicking in, and thus picks up the idle revs......
THAT IS ALL.

Bede - Local Ground = pin A26 on ECU

Krasyvy - FIX your F$%%^^&&G TDC problem and your Idle will correct itself some.
Replace the Dizzy with a KNOWN Good One, borrow a mates???
Then you need to get a stock P08 program for your P28. I've explained this to you many many times, what do you not understand?
