Does anyone have an OBDII Scanner I could use tonight? My car is throwing a cel and it won't start.

Umm. Want to pick me up and drive me down there and back up. That doesn't sound good at all. Go by checkers and see if they will loan one out. Leave you're credit card with them or something.

It just randomly died at idle after running perfectly fine and then wouldn't start up.

I think it is an ecu problem. It is freaking out because of all the changes.

That's what I was thinking to but I can't tell without an OBDII Scanner

Have you tried disconecting the battery?

But the e-manage should be taking care of that....right? Unless E-manage is completely locked until drifter gets that serial from Greddy?

Ask Drifter

Postby **RX-7 Chris** » Wed Mar 05, 2008 9:14

It is at drifter's house now and he is working on it.

I have an OBD II scanner, but unfortunately I'm pretty far north of the Springs

Have you guys tried removing the eManage to see how the car would react? Really there's only a couple sensors that should effect your idle, your MAF & MAP.... I'm assuming the eManage would have to manipulate one of their values in order to alter your fuel trim. Where is your MAF sensor now located? Still right behind the filter/where the airbox used to be, or post turbo (<<rare, but I've seen weirder)?
