Rep Power: 0 Need 01 D17A1 ECU auto non vtec
Anyone out there with this ecu ? I need to buy one, my motor is a 2001 D17A1 automatic transmission non Vtec... If anyone is interested in knowing why I need it it's cause I bought a used 2004 Civic (cheap bad motor ) & I already had a 2001 motor so I installed it and today the car runs legit anywhere everywhere but then check engine light on due to the motor being a D17A1 but the engine harness being a D17A2 so it's asking for the evap info & this motor has no evap so im thinking replace the ecu with the correct one so it won't ask for the evap info n check engine light will go away... Hopefully cause if not I'm screwed. Thanks all

Won't work as planned. If you dropped in a D17A1 block and head, reused the original wiring, exhaust, EGR and all associated parts from the 04 EX D17A2 you will need a PCM that fits 2004 or 05 DX/LX with D17A1 engine and the same trans you have.
04-05 cars are wired different from 01-03, use different sensors (primary AF sensor vs. O2), and controls for power to that sensor are different.
IF you have an 04 car, you need an 04 control unit for non-vtec engine. Control unit will need to be programmed by the dealership or locksmith before the engine can run (immobilizer).

I must the 04 civic has the 01 motor & trans in it... working perfectly other than this issue, kept the 04 harness & ecu again runs perfect

You don't have the correct engine for the car, to start with. What will the inspectors say about that?

If you had stripped your 01 engine down to the block/crank/pistons and installed that into the car, you probably would have a working car now.

I can get the reff give me another vin marrying the new motor & car vin to make it smogg (visual) legal but first off I need to be able to take the check engine light off... yes the 01 does not have an egr and the 04 did have an egr set up is the only difference but u didn't have the 01 ecu nor the harness

Re: Need 01 D17A1 ECU auto non vtec
If everything worked, you wouldn't have a check engine light problem.
You're missing important parts.
You cannot use an 01 PCM in the 04 car unless you do a whole lot of rewiring, that would involve much much more than just the engine harness.
You could slap a D17A2 head with VTEC and EGR on your engine....

Still have the old engine? What happened to the old engine, did it run out of oil and throw a rod or what? Is the head any good? Are the oil passages loaded with metal from a bottom end failure?
