ReeceGolliker Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Hi, I've just got my car back and it's taking longer to fire up. It's also fairly often just cutting out as soon as it turns on the revs just drop and it shuts down. I've got an engine management light on to. I've not driven it since all this but it sounds fine. Could anyone point me into the right direction to sort it? Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites
SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Check the diagnostics box. I've something similar and it says coolant temp sensor Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted July 10, 2016 Author Share Posted July 10, 2016 How do I do that?😂 Cheers Quote Link to post Share on other sites

SpikeyJp_68 Posted July 10, 2016 Share Posted July 10, 2016 Although I changed the temp sensor and it's was still the same. Does yours splutter when you Rev it a bit on cold and does it run normally on temperature ? I haven't bothered fixing it because I'll be swapping it for an FTE Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted July 11, 2016 Author Share Posted July 11, 2016 It seems to have sorted itself now. I'm thinking it may be a poor current so just got rid of any corrosion I could see on the terminals and earths. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 (edited) I think this may be more serious than I expected. Engine light is back on and the revs drop after any gas and nearly stalls. It's also hunting on idle and not boosting at all?

patman Posted July 14, 2016 Share Posted July 14, 2016 Yeah do a diagnostic test mate and see what numbers are coming up and go from there Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted July 14, 2016 Author Share Posted July 14, 2016 I was thinking that but that wouldn't cause no boost would it? It's almost like it's hitting a rev limiter and backfiring at 4K rpm when it shout be on boost. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 I've just noticed an orange flashing light on the EMB? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
patman Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Count how many times the light flashes, then it will pause for a second or so then flash again how many times then you have your code number then report back on here mate Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Bug679 Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 Think he's on about his Emanage blue orange flashing light on that is ok I have emanage. And YES the "interaction" light does BLINK in a steady pulse. This is because i was told there is no connection to comuter, hence the USB port. Not 100% sure.But the main thing is the active light, the GREEN light. When you give it gas, the Active LED should TURN green and when you let off gas it will go to orange. If the active light is doing what i am saying, then it is working fine.That's a quote from this page have a read of it will tell you about it http://honda-tech.com/forums/forced-induction-16/e-manage-interaction-light-suppose-constantly-blink-1184461/ Quote Link to post Share on other sites
triple j Posted July 15, 2016 Share Posted July 15, 2016 (edited) What i remember the light should be solid green at idle then it will flash orange when going up through the rpm range as its in use, a fault with the ecu will show a red light code, dont think its the emb check for codes as said above to see what the engine light is saying.

ReeceGolliker Posted July 15, 2016 Author Share Posted July 15, 2016 Checked the diagnostics and found it to be a dodgy map sensor, quick clean and it was sorted! Annoying how such a small thing made the car run absolutely terribly 😂 Oh well sorted now, cheers for the help guys! Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 Scrap that last post it's not sorted! I've since changed the MAP sensor with no luck so I'm not sure what else I can do really Quote Link to post Share on other sites
fiddlersport Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Check your neutral start switch Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ollieh17 Posted July 27, 2016 Share Posted July 27, 2016 Was going to say sounds like MAP sensor, check the wiring to the emu etc Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ReeceGolliker Posted July 27, 2016 Author Share Posted July 27, 2016 (edited) Think it must be the wiring in the EMB and I don't really know what I'm looking at with it. The throttle body sensor has been suggested to be at fault, is it worth getting a new one of them to try Before I get it trailered to tuning developments 🙄 Edited July 27, 2016 by ReeceGolliker Quote Link to post Share on other sites
