Just an update, I replaced IC19 twice.
Also RM6 was replaced.

Still CEL.

BUT I did take it across town to try in someones car I was tuning. PASSED!
Drove back across town, ECU knocked around in boot. Back into my car and SOLID CEL, datalogs fine, no codes. But stuck in diagnostic mode.......

I think next trick is to remove J1 and install J4, see if it's stuck in diagnostic.
If so i'll remove the 28 pin socket.

EDIT: Found the issue with the two P08 I have. Unplug my 4 wire heated 02 and the CEL goes away. Those P08 must have an issue with voltage on A6 heater pin. E-tech told me to test QM3 so will post result and the fix asap

Hi,
car Accord type-r 2001. ecu p28+chip, after 1 year perfect work, blinking cel. But car run great. In another p28+ this chip all fine. Bad 74hc373? (In video 4000rpm boostgenerator for dragstart, car is NA)
bad ecu p28 after 1 year perfect work - YouTube
Hi
Very odd kind of blinking...
Put in a different chip and test.
Looks like the Ecu in "limp mode".
If another chip without lauch control and behave
the same way the yes in limp mode.

The odd blinking could be just a wiring issue.
Error code blink are slow and consistent.

From watching the video that looks like a soldering issue inside the ecu to me.
Most likely the latch chip but COULD be the 28 pin chip.

With the ecu cover off and the car running, push down on the latch chip then the chip. See if you can get CEL to go away or come back.

That's a solid CEL though no doubt from ECU vibrating with engine running......
Connect.... not connect. connect. and so on

hi,
my eg can start as normal, but after start the idling rpm intermittent up and down, can felt some jerk also when change gear during drive,fuel consumption high,got black smoke. Foreman did help to put jumper check error with controller, but no error code found. He said mainly MAP sensor or ECU. I do replace with 2nd hand MAP sensor but the problem still remain. Due to no have offline ecu to test, are there any way to narrow down the problem?

ps:my english not good, hope your can get my mean.TQVM.

Mmmmm NO but u can open the ecu cover and hv a look inside.
If hv "burn" mark or brown spot high possibility it's the ecu.

You hv std engine and ecu?

Yup, my is std engine and ecu...I give wrong info, my is eh5 year 95.
I will check the ecu tomorrow..i also wanna find the second unit map sensor and test again..thanks ya.
Actually I new with all of this, when the third foremen told me high potential is that two item bad only I start to search online.
Do I need to do ecu reset when replace the map sensor?coz the foremen ask me jz install and see got recover or not when I found the map sensor, but I got read some write need to do after troubleshooting.

Just replace the map sensor. Does not require reset unless there error code stuck.

Does anybody knows where to get bump stops/rubber stopper for HWL MYVI coilovers?

Currently, im facing issues with tyre scraping fender for the rear part as my rims are wide with low offset and the rear coilovers are abit soft...

i've been advised to either roll fenders or install bump stop to prevent excessive movement of absorber.

If anyone here selling or knows a place where i can get them, do drop a reply here

Im located in KL/PJ

Many thanks in advance fellow petrol heads...
