Just installed a custom turbo kit for my civic. im running 8psi and the vafc hack w/ dsm injectors. Well im driving it today and there is no check engine light on so im happy. When it got dark, i wanted to see how hard it pulled. So i drove the car hard. Went up to about 80mph from a stop. it pulled pretty nice and the check engine light wasnt on. Then about 1 minute later im going about 40, drop it to second, it pulls hard, i redling, shift, then at about 80 mph while im still gunning it, the check engine light comes on and my car stopped accelerating. i felt a force on my gas petal, and i couldnt floor it. Does anyone know why this happened. Its happend before too but i dont know why.

Thanks

 

What code are you getting?

 

i have no clue. should i go to the dealer and find out. It always disapears after the car is shut off and always appears after i beat the car.

 

It's probably related to the hack, so it's probably a 13(baro sensor). Next time it happens, don't turn the car off. Park, and jump your service connector to pull the code.

 

No way dude, check this out:

Honda made it nice and easy for us to check our CEL to honda for thinking of the diy mechanics.

 

good old code 13, I got it today at the Dyno, lol in between my first and second run

 

well i cant find that connecter. I looked all over the place. Maybe its because it's dark outside. So can you guys tell me exactly where it is. Like by the ecu or behind it or is it hidding somewhere.

 

Passanger kick panel right above your ecu. Peek up in there like you would a girl with a short skirt on.

dam code 16. once again code 16. should i just check the connections to the resistors. I know i forgot one thing with the fuel system. There are three nuts holding the fuel rail down and i lost on so i just put one on each side.
