Latest, I had pulse then it quit. Can I just pick up another ECU from wrecking yard or does it have to be a specific? So Sound possibly like ECU bad?

 

I went out and tried again I get pulse again but start getting it after the motor turns over about 5 times. starts with faint then gets bright..

 

Im going to try and get to the wrecking yard this weekend and see if I can find an ECU. I how I can just plug and go with it. Not sure if I have to get it reprogrammed?

 

The ECU has to match BOTH the engine you have (vtec, or no vtec), and the transmission (AT or MT).
I found this out when I was looking for 1 for my 97 Accord (non-vtec with 5 speed). It didn't help though, as it wasn't my problem. It turned out I wasn't getting 12 volts to the injector resistor unit. Once I brought power over to it, the car started right up and ran great again (I drove it home from the sellers house, and it failed to start the next day).
I should mention that I had installed a new coil, cap and rotor, and even changed the crankshaft position sensors, and verified I had a fuel problem (fuel pump was replaced too). I had 12 volts to the pump too. I shot starting fluid in the hose from the brake booster, and the car would run. That pointed to an injector issue. I spent 2 weeks chasing wires to find out what was going on, and then found I had low voltage (like 3 volts) going to the resistor pack, when it should be battery voltage going to it.
I hope this helps.

 

Merry Christmas to all,

Thanks for all the information. I picked up and ECU and it fired rite up. Motor sounds really good, getting check engine light code 16 injectors also D4 trans indicator blinking I get a 10 temp sensor 7 and 8. Great information on this site. Thanks again
