Stock Honda ECU code dump repository

Stock Honda ECU code dump repository

For those of you looking for stock Honda binaries for various honda ECU’s, look no further than the great PGMFI ECU definition wiki  page related to the subject mirrored here on mycomputerninja.com. In the repository, you will find the stock basemaps and bin files for most obd0 and obd1 honda factory ECUs. These binaries can be used to return an aftermarket chipped ecu back to its original state, especially in the obd0 range where there is no jumper to pull to revert to factory settings. They also make a great starting point for basemaps on cars needing to be tuned. I have used many of the binaries in this repository, and thought I would write a quick note to let people know that this great resource is still around. The entire pgmfi wiki is mirrored here on mycomputerninja.com, and you can find the main library page simply by following (and bookmarking!) this link.

OBD2a to OBD1 Honda Accord Automatic Conversion

OBD2a to OBD1 Honda Accord Automatic Conversion

As many of you may know, I host a mirror of the old PGMFI wiki from PGMFI.org. In a new How-To series on MyComputerNinja, I will be highlighting some of the tutorials that might make for interesting reading for some of you, and for others may end up being a lifesaver. For those of you who have automatic OBD2a Honda Accords, you may find this tutorial interesting. It details the conversion of the Accord from obd2a back to OBD1 in order to use Crome. It includes the wiring conversion involved, as well as what ecu and binary to use to make it all work.

Yahoo Charts and Firefox

Yahoo Charts and Firefox

Comments 0 Comment

Recently, Yahoo.com upgraded their finance section to use new interactive charts. You may remember because I previously wrote about it here. These new charts offer technical analysis options and many things investors typically have to pay for, and all for free. With these new charts, anyone can plot 15 minute delayed bollinger bands, MACD crossover, Simple moving averages and stochastics all for free. One issue I was having is that none of these grand new features work in Firefox. Yahoo charts seemed to be broken for use with firefox, and that frustrated me.

After nearly 2 months of not being able to access the dropdown menu for technical features of the Yahoo charts in firefox, I decided to look into the problem more. It appeared to me to be some sort of javascript issue, where my browser was blocking the javascript pop-down menu for the technical tools bar. I have javascript enabled in my browser, because the internet pretty much doesnt work without javascript at this point, so it wasn’t that. Then it hit me.

I use the Ad-Block plugin for firefox, which is kinda touchy when it comes to javascript popups. I disabled Ad-Block and the interactive yahoo charts work like a dream.

I realize that some of you may think I am being a hypocrite for serving Google ads on my website, while simultaneously running ad-block in my web browser, but I only run Ad-Block on certain computers which I consider to need more of a secure browsing experience. My normal laptop for which I am typing this now, does not use adblock for the express purpose that I DO sometimes click on ads if they are relevant to what I am doing. Anyway, hope this tip helps!
