[Machizmo]

Thought so. Your's is symptom 2. Check ECU part no and post here. I'll let you know if its meant for your motor or not.

@Machizmo:
The ECU says:
37820-PWC-905
3968-205399

[Machizmo]

I've checked and rechecked and 37820-PWC-905 came stock with in the Honda Fit/Jazz with CVT and the Non-VTEC L15A. So we're at a loss on both ends.

Either you get it swapped with VTEC L15A ecu or you engage vtec via a vtec controller with seperate wires running to it. Its you're call. The first option would be cheaper and on your vendor's responsibilty, so i'd recommend you try that first.

Can you give me the code number for the Manual L15a1 Vtec ECU?

Machizmo, you're a Life Saver for me and now I am a life killer for my Vendor.

how many plugs does your ECU have? - 4 is the first dead giveaway for CVT ECU

Noobish and kind of offtopic question.

1) i have seen almost every one is having ECU problem in these types of swaps.
2) mostly i have also heard that on the big diesel engines they are being swapped/used with other fuel pumps.
3) there is No certain guarantee of engine condition that it is better then the one being replaced.

But if one Imports engine from Japan these problems are not faced.

basic question here is that HOW much is the Price difference between Japan imported engine and local engine bought from bilal gunj/shobha/shershah is the Price doubled or even more.

my bad on the 4, I do recall working on the Honda Citys while recalibrating their first clutches or unfiddling the wiring under the steering and glovebox - and they had 5 plugs for the CVT and 4 for the M/T however I did come across some oddball JDM engines with 4 plug ECUs running CVT.

@f430...
ECU Se Pakre gaee )) Thats What I Doubt When You Said Jaaz Manual box and ecu....
i wonder that all is compatiable or not......!!!
thats why asked u to engage vtec manually .............!! you said vtec engage at 3500...?? how come it in non vtec ecu

[accord7362]

actually when you post your swap at "steermatic fan club"" you informed next day you are gona swap thats why I kept quite with finger crossed
Current steermatic engine & ECU will no way coup up with manual tranky, steermatic is equipped with sophisticated sensor's so I think you need to completely get rid of current setup of ECU , kill all the sensor system's and I hope with the help of @machizmo & manual L15 engine ECU you will solve the problem.
Good luck

I'll have a hard time finding a manual ECU for the L15a1. However, I have searched and learned that D16Y, The engine in 2001-2005 Civic VTi also run's on OBD2a ECU. I will be available aswell because it was used locally..

What do you and other experts say?
Both have same single stage Vtec and ECU pinouts are same aswell...
