ok, gather around kids....its story time (i'll try making this short..)
My car magically wouldnt start one day...
check engine light came on...
I got a lot of advice and i figured it was probably the ecu was bad. (was the car's second one already)
anyhow, I took it to a local car dealership (hondaland)
They charged me like $200 to find out it was the ecu that was bad. (which pist me off, 4 hours to find that out is what they said...croc of sh*t)
so, instead of buying a new ecu ($700) i bought a used one from 'discoveryautoparts.com' ($125)
long story short, I put the new ecu in the other day and the car fired up! But the check engine light comes on after a second or two and it limits the rpm to maybe about 3k or so. (no tach, damn DX)
Any clue what the hell it is? Another bad ecu or the check engine light need to be reset or ahh i dont know. Any suggestions?
