Hi guys,
I have a 1999 EX 2.3 CYL that had the infamous P0401 code so after reading many threads I decided to try the throttle body and egr cleaning. I had to take off the upper plenum which has a bunch of hoses and a couple of sensors attached in order to pull the the intake out and give it a good cleaning. After doing that and putting everything back together now the car doesn't start. It cranks but doesn't turn over. I will state that while separating the throttle body from the intake the cruise control cable came out and we put it back fine I assume from the pictures that I took prior to taking on the job. Any ideas what I could have done wrong. Please help need to go to work on Monday!

 

Do you have a code reader?

 

Carefully recheck your work, I seem to think that engine has the same electrical plug for a temp sensor and TPS sensor.

Learn from my mistakes.

 

Yes, the TPS and the MAP get switched sometimes. Also double check G101-main ground for ecu- on the end of the TB, drivers side #16 in the pic.

 

Hondadude your suggestion to go back and recheck my work along with Poorman212 suggestion to check the main ground did the trick.
I noticed that I had left the main ground unattached. The car is running great and I noticed there is no longer a hesitation when accelerating from a dead stop. Thanks for everyone's input. This forum is absolutely indispensable.

 

Cool, glad you got it

And as Hondadude said, not like I (we) ever done something like that before
