just did a 5 speed swap drove it around for awhile no check engine light.
after about 10 min of driving now i get the light.
I have 0 wires connected to the trans, still need to source a speed sensor.
and fuk the reverse lights, dont need em. any idea what it can be before i go run some codes. is it normal? still using auto ecu

enough said. pull your ecu and see what code it gives you

DreamN · 02-07-2009, 11:56 PM

if it's an s13 then the code shouldn't be the cause of the 5 spd swap as far as I know. plus since it's an s13 why haven't you just checked the codes already? it takes less than 5 min. to do.

repda916 · 02-08-2009, 12:31 AM

i got a code 55 which means everything is ok? i dont get it why would that come on?

s14l0v3r · 02-08-2009, 02:06 AM

cuz auto ecu most likely.

DreamN · 02-08-2009, 04:50 PM

^ nope. he has an s13. having the auto ecu wouldn't affect it.

repda916 · 02-08-2009, 08:28 PM

its on again after resetting it.

NOW i have more problems after this swap
my right head light will work normal and with brights
my left head light will only work with brights.
tried a different housing, same problem. checked fuses under hood. and kick panal. what could it be?

bhcsilvia · 02-08-2009, 10:50 PM

u have to make sure code 55 cuz 54 is A/T control code there is a difference between auto and manual 5spd ecu's i did on a S14 on the head light there are 2 fuses for head light at engine compartment last fuse by its self 15amp blue make sure the is power there with test light and also check the connector and the bulb wire green w/yellow stripe.

repda916 · 02-09-2009, 12:02 AM

and once again ANOTHER problem has came up.
after clearing the codes on the ecu more have came up
15 - Mixture ratio is too lean despite feedback control; fuel injector clogged
and
34 - Detonation (Knock) Sensor

If i fix the injector problem will the knock sensor code go away or is is just bad?
