The K-Pro Thread

^Get what is known to work, there is a reason why that sensor is soo damn expensive unfortunatly.

+1  Use the RSX sensor and take Ryan up on the casper harness.  I have no problems with soldering either, but I don't like taking chances with sensitive electrical sensors.  I'm using the casper harness with my car.

lol. cool. Thanks for the input you guys. Ill take your words on the RSX sensor.

[TheGrayCM]

hey guys, I just hooked up everything i needed to hook up on the car. I was wondering if i need to do anything with the settings before starting it up? I had to go with the soldering pathway because i received the wrong connector. I read about changing the voltage for the o2 sensor, but i dunno if it was just for the AEM one. please, Im thinking of getting the car running tonight so i can use it in the morning so all help is appreciated. Thanks!

Are you using an AEM primary AFR sensor, or a RSX primary AFR sensor?  Do you have a tune yet?

[TheGrayCM]

im using the RSX-S sensor. nope, i was just gonna run off the stock calibration for the Accord thats already on the K-manager.

[timot_one]

I wouldn't use that.  The calibration for the Accord in kmanager kinda sucks.  I'm pretty sure that that MAP either runs either really rich or really lean.  Either way, if you're planning on running that, make sure you get your car tuned immediately.  You definitely do not want to drive around on that tune if you don't want to wreck your motor.  Let me know if you need help or a better base map.

i had gotten everything hooked up this weekend and double checked the everything before i plugged in the ECU. Turned on the car, but when i tried datalogging, it wasnt reading anything. I drove it a bit to see if it drove normally, but when i punching the throttle it would keep itself from going over 4000rpm. im thinking its the ECU. I got the  Kpro'd ECU used on CRSX forum so I was thinking of getting it repaired on Ebay if i have to beacause theres a seller that does repairs. Have any suggestions guys?

[timot_one]

Which Map are you using?

[BliNx197]

Not over 4000 rpms, do you have a CEL at all? Limp modes the only thing I could think of other than if that kal accidentally had a rev limit set at 4k.

[timot_one]

E-mail a copy of your MAP to the admin e-mail so I can check it out man.

[TheGrayCM]

The CEL is always on. Im only using the stock calibration thats on K-pro for the Accord. I didnt touch any of the settings.

[NVA-AV6]

Sounds more like a sensor/wiring problem, what code is it......

[timot_one]

The Accord CEL is on, or the K Pro CEL is on?  When you use Cham's harness, you're going to get a CEL in your stock gauge cluster because all the sensors it's looking for are going to the K Pro ECU and it's freaking out because it doesn't see them.

If you're using the stock Accord calibration that is on K Manager, you need a better tune.  That tune is not very good, and is only to be used as a starting point while tuning.  You WILL damage your motor if you don't get your car tuned.  Do you need a better tune?

[TheGrayCM]

Well. Both the CEL on my stock gauge and the external one are on. Its reading nothing on K-pro, no codes, no datalog. only thing I think I can do is upload maps to the Kpro. Im thinking the ECU is the problem. If its cool timot_one, I can try uploading a better map if you have one and Ill let you know if theres a difference from the map I uploaded. If it still cuts off at 4000rpm, then im sure its the ECU and ill just have to get it repaired on Ebay. Im sure I should see a difference if its not the ECU. Lemme know as soon as you can. Thanks

[timot_one]

PM me your email address and I'll send you a better n/a tune today.
