Vafc cel code "3" ... Need help
Hi, i have installed a vafc in my stock civic si 93 hatch ( d16z6, p28 ecu)
It worked fine ran it for a month with no cel.
Last week i installed some second gen dsm 450cc because i am going to turbo the mad "D"
As recommend, i used new seal... i bored them out, i used 10watts 10ohms resistor... My engine i still stock so i set injector to shoot 46% less fuel because 450cc will dump too much fuel. 450cc -46% = ~240cc 239.2....exactly like oem injector.
Anyway... i started the car and it idle fine, run fine when i go for a test drive...
But i while i was on the higway my cel light up... CEL 3... map sensor!
The cel light up when i release throttle on 3rd 4th or 5th gear, if i release throttle and put the stick on neutral cel wont come, WTF!!! I did remove the fuse for the ecu so it should have reset...
i heard a lot of people had this problem... anyone can help?

Thanks for your help, but it was already set at 6 in 6 out. There was no code with my stock injectors and now there is one with dsm injectors...

Re: (rota92)
i dont think he's boosting yet (from his first post)
the exact same problem happened to me, no code even whn im boosting, but a second or two after i take my foot of the accelerator, it throws code 3.
it turned out tht my sensor in and out settings were wrong...now dont think im dumb...i set it right whn i installed and it was running fine for a couple of months.
im guessing ur setings, wiring or maybe ur map sensor's busted.
