Emanage Help?
I installed my emanage yesterday. i updated the software and firmware. I installed the emanage by using andyman97's writeup. http://www.7thgencivic.com/forums/sh...d.php?t=217534
The car starts, no error codes are flashing but the idle is really bad. All my wiring is correct and the jumpers are set exactly as the writeup says. Anybody else run into these problems? Is there a specific startup procedure that needs to be done or is there setting within the emanage support tool that needs to be changed?

Rep Power: 305 When I start the car.. the rpms drop down to almost dieing but then jump back up to where they should be.. it just seems like its missing. you can feel the motor trembling. it never dies. there are no error messages coming from the emanage. i am unable to tell if i am throwing a cell due to the fact that my check engine light stays on due to having no cat.

no changes are needed at all if its just hooked up with stock injectors to get it to run properly. I would check to see what codes the cars ecm is throwin , it may be other codes along with the one for O2 sensor one because of the cat

Rep Power: 305 In goes to ECU and Out goes to Map? or vise versa? also i got a code reader.. the following have come up
P0108 - MAP/BARO Circuit
P0135 - o2 Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 1)
P0141 - o2 Heater Circuit Malfunction (Bank 1 Sensor 2)
This is with the emanage unplugged and my mapsensor wires tapped back into the ecu rather than the emanage. I could not get the car to run right at all with the emanage hooked up so i needed to figure out if the car would run right when put back to stock. I left the harness plugged in but disconnected the emanage and reconnected my map sensor wire to the ecu. it runs flawlessly but without vtec. I was using the VAFC to activate vtec but since i disconnected it there is no signal to be sent out. I miss it already lol. In the morning i will hook back up the emanage and run the codes again and see what pops up. What setting should be put in if i'm hooking up stock?

There's no light that blinks anymore now that the vafc2 is not there but i can def feal no "boost" in power where it usually was.. perhaps the in/out wires need to be swapped there also? I'm thinking thats what the problem is and I am about to test out my theory in a few mins.

Rep Power: 327 if you still have no maps available to look at.... Did you go into settings and set it up and select what maps you want available? If you do make sure to not change the injector ratio unless you have the bigger ones installed

Rep Power: 327 have you tried this ?
1) Turn your car to ON
2) Go to the FILES section of the yahoo group and download the latest
US
language and the latest Main unit operating system.
3) Bring up your support tool to ONLINE
4) Go to COMMUNICATION and click on MAIN UNIT UPDATE
5) When it prompts you to TURN OFF MAIN UNIT, turn your key to OFF
position.
6) Click OK
7) Turn ignition to ON
8) Bring up your support tool to ONLINE.
9) Go to SETTINGS and click on PARAMETER SETTINGS
10) Make all your changes and select relevant maps. If you do not have
the additional harnesses, check the "Air Flow Adjustment Map". Also set
your Throttle Setting.
11) Click on CONFIRM. It will pop up asking you to turn off ignition
once. Go ahead and turn ignition to OFF. Click OK.
12) Turn ignition to ON. Reconnect support tool so it is ONLINE.
13) Go to COMMUNICATION and then click on EXPORT DATA.
14) Once that is done, click on CONFIRM for any pop ups you get. Then
turn the ignition to OFF.
15) Turn the ignition to ON and proceed to turn the car ON.
From this point on, NEVER reconfigure the PARAMETER SETTINGS or export
to main unit!!! This is what screws things up.
Any change you make on your air-flow map are automatically updated with
the main unit thus there is no need to "export".
Every time you start up your support tool and want to modify the maps
on the main unit, just IMPORT from the main unit and proceed to modify
it.
But again, never mess around with the PARAMETER SETTINGS or EXPORT to
main unit unless you go through the steps above again.

word. yeah, you should have to import them everytime you load up. that is atleast how it was on my 6thgen si. as far as exporting, it should auto update w/ the changes you mkake, so you should never have to export

Rep Power: 305 yeah i did some experimenting with vtec engagment and it does saves my changes.. but like you said i will have to import my maps from the emanage so it seems. no big deal for that i guess, i was just hoping that it wouldnt update the changes i made and what not. I'll keep messing with it maybe it will work out later on down the line. i'm just happy that the car is running like its supposed to and vtec is engaging properly. thanks for the help everyone. I repped whoever gave me useful info.
