ecu coding problem?

went to do a ecu code test on my 92 civic and when i turned the ignition to on the check engine light does not come on? Any ideas why?

maybe because you're not poping any codes. was your cel on before?

i finally got it to work but now the engine light stays on..doesn't blink or anything? Would that be considered a 0 on the code list?

was your light on before? if it wasn't on before you were not having any codes pop.

no it wasn't on before....but i went out and bought an error code reader and plugged it into the terminal and now when i turn on the ignition the check engine light comes on and stays on...

if it wasn't on before then why are you messing with it?

did you jump the service connector? and you wasted money buyin that tool for your car. you can check the codes with a thin wire and your eyes.

i don't ever think he had a code. i think he was just trying to fuck something up.

yes i jumped the connector and nothing blinks it just stays on...when its not jumped the light comes on like normal and shuts off like normal...Can't say i am trying to fuck my own car up but fill your boots with thoughts i guess..

ok... disconnect the battery for 10 mins... then star the car like normal and let it warm up... if theres no CEL youre good, no need to try and pull codes, if the CEL comes on, shut the car off, jump the service conncetor to put it in diagnostic mode and throw away that useless code reader and read the flashes... if your ECU was fried your car wouldnt run.

see thats my problem...my car tries to turn over but it doesn't. Kind of chugs but won't start. I checked for spark and i also checked to make sure its getting gas...It has both I think I just need to burn the piece of shit.

ok so assuming you are throwing a 0.. which is an ECU code. borrow a friends ecu and try that. if it works then get a new ecu.
