I need to know if the ECU resets itself when you disconnect the battery. I have a 2000 Civic DX Coupe.
Also, does anyone know what the current output of a stock alternator with stock pulleys is at idle?
I just had my car at the honda dealership today to have them check a stalling problem I am having (have not had it since I last had the car in for service), and they are saying that it is due to the AEM underdrive pulleys I have on the car. I have had the pulleys on the car since last april, and no problems...ever.
About a month and a half ago, the car started stalling, my alarm started acting real wierd, and the clock on my car stereo was slow (CDX-C90). This lead me to believe that the battery was having issues. Sure enough, the battery had a bad cell.
They switched the battery, but the problem was still there, the car ran like crap that day. They told me that it was because I had put high octane gas in the car (YEAH...thats it)
Problem seemed to subside, but I wanted to get the stalling issue checked, so I took it back in. They diagnosed the car and told me that it was the AEM Cold Air Intake on the car that was causing the problem. So, I then took it to another honda dealership to get the car looked at.
They are telling me that it is the underdrive pulleys causing the problem. I think that it was initially the battery with the bad cell causing the problems, and all the other problems are just because the ECU keeps getting reset.
Any suggestions?
