Hi all i havea mivec controller was working fine doign what it should has two lights on it one says high and ones says low low is when mivec isnt engaged.Now today i was isntalling a aftermarket tacho all i installed was the ground wire and the red wire which i jammed in to the 15A fuse and now it says mivec is always engaged?? liek the light on high is on and u can tell on lower rpm them car is kinda struggling doesnt have as much power so mivec is permanently engaged since i disconnected the battery does this have something to do with it?

thankyou that was real helpful im pulling my hair out at the moment mate haha but htanks that gave me closure..ny1 help

i have been reading manuals and guide for everythign and anything all over the internet im pretty sure since i disconnected the battery and it was for longer than 30 mins the ecu reset thats how far i got anyone else care to chip in? if i remove the mivec controller so take it out of the car and reset the ecu by disconecting the batery for 30 mins will this solve my problems and make mivec only kick in when it should at 5500rpm (aprox) ?

take out the tacho and see if it fixes itself... if its alright again... you've installed the tacho a fucked up way... install it a different way

still no go with taking out the tacho i only touched the 15A fuse for the ciggy lighter and the gorund wire. I decided that ill take out the mivec controller and reset the ecu thus its stock as a rock again. OK but im confused i havea dacturo or somethign produced by daytona (i went to there website but i cant read japanese).It has 4-5 grey wires bunched up going from teh back in to a white bo under the ecu see the photos adn all the plugs oging in to the ecu look stock???Help???Oh yea and there is a switch on the side of the white box its currently on the label five if i move it to the other position it becomes 0 wtf is that??

ok guyss i have noticed when my engine idles for to long it turns off because the revs go to low i remember when i bought the car the guy said to me theres a screw you turn to make the idle higher any ideas?

I've never seen that box before =/ No idea what it is. For the idle screw, it is located near where the intake pipe attaches to the throttle body. It should be recessed in and is a cross head screw. It might be a symptom of an underlying problem though

Hi all i adjusted the idle and made it go to 1300 rpm its lsightly better but it starts to slowly drop to 0 after about a minute and a half.All these problems started when i fricken disconnected the battery...should i get the battery checked out mayby it needs ot be recharged? or should i disconnect it reset the ecu again??i really really want to remove the mivec controller can someone please give me a hand in telling me how to do soo..

See all the red connector blocks spliced into the wires going into the green ECU plug? I'd hazard a guess & say if you disconnected all of those, you'll disconnect the Mivec controller. Then start again with your tacho connections.

hmm, ok so those red connector blocks ok so they have two wires goign in to them and one oging out, how would i return it to the stock level thus removing hte mivec controller do i just undo the block thingy etc hmmm i think i mitght be better of tkaing it somewhere to get done what do you guys think?Also any ideas on what that white box is and what the switch on the side does?

Post by **Bennoz** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:14 pm

Those red blocks are splicers. It enables you to connect an extra wire onto an exisitng wire. Ie hook into the loom. They should just click open (or have a little plastic latch)

AMACHA · Post by **AMACHA** » Mon Oct 29, 2007 9:24 pm

oh ok then so i should just be able to unclick those splicers and the extra wire should just come right off and the wiring will be like it came form factory? thanks allot bennoz so its pretti much somethign easy to do and not worth paying to get it done?lol whats teh white box for do you know?
