The only thing the ETC needs to done is to learn the voltages when the throttle body is in the fully open and closed positions while the engine is off. It seems as if you've got it set up though.

 

yah, so just in the ON position (no engine start) zero to wot, correct?

 

Yarp, you are correct sir.

What you'll need to do once everything is connected and secured...

Turn the ignition switch to Key On, Engine Off position (power to everything, engine will be OFF).

Press and hold the "MODE" button on the ETC to enter configuration mode... It will begin a countdown to zero. Once it hits zero, release the "MODE" button.

At this point you'll see the letter "L" with a number percentage, this is the off throttle voltage. Make sure your foot is off the throttle and press "SET" to lock in the off throttle voltage measurement.

Next, you'll see the letter "H" with a number percentage as well, this is the on throttle voltage. Pin the throttle to the wide open position and press "SET" to lock in the voltage measurement.

Now your ETC should be set... I would suggest starting in normal mode and monitor the throttle position percentage via the display on the ETC. You can do this right after programming while the engine is off so you'll be able to HEAR the throttle body open and close. Once you've verified this, you should be ok to take the car for a test drive and set the ETC to your liking.

 

thanks hootie! im real excited now...

 

hummm.... my '12's starting to grind into 2nd while accelerating at wot..

started noticing it a few weeks ago, getting considerably worse.
might need to double clutch shiftup like ff...

would be a great reason to buy a new car.

Get a GK, Get Thread Hacked. Get it back and Rename it to From GD to GE to GK

 

hahahaha!!!

 

anyone please let me know the honda part number for the below hose clamp (clip) #16? thanks.

2009 FIT SPORT AT



did an oil change today and found that these clamps are terribly rusted along with
others. need to replace them all. when i did the coolant about 2months ago,
it wasnt nearly as bad...must be the humidity.

 

never mind, found it.

loooks like im going to be drain/filling the 09's coolant yet again. lol

 

Should have the throttle controller installed later today.

 

09 threw a ses per wife. will check code later. im thinking it's the gas cap at low fuel. lower pressure from sudden drop in ambient temp sometimes causes this.

 

pulled the code from the 2009.

P1028 so it appears the coolant thermostat could be the problem.
below thermostat regulating temp...

 

last night i burped the cooling system again on the 09 just in case that might help. cleared the code on my obd2 scanner, no code during the 2 test drives. will monitor a week before doing the clamp swap.

 

btw, if you guys are in the market for a good radiator funnel, check out this one... very good. no drips, no mess.

 

wife took the 09 out again today, drove 50miles plus hwy/city miles, no ses. hope it stays that way.

 

shaved down the top of rear bumper where there were bumps from impact and applied the bumper applique. looks good. now my car is scratchless... sort of.

 

I've always felt that Fits NEED bumper appliques. In addition to protecting the rear bumper when loading/unloading items, it gives a nice little contrasting touch of black on the bumper.

 

agreed! definitely tightens up the look in the back. worth every penny.. especially since wife bought it for me. hahaha

 

The applique on Mrs.410b's GD is peeling.

I want to remove it, but I'm worried about what is underneath it as well as doing damage to the paint underneath.

 

not sure how the adhesive is on your car, but i think with enough heat you can pull it off without damage. my car is parked outside 24/7 so i think i will need to replace it down the road too... but for now it looks goood.


BTW, you're married now?
