ok i shorted out the connector.. turned the car into the on position it threw 2 codes.
5 short...and 2 long and 1 short so i got a..

code 5=MAP sensor
code 21=Vtec Spool Selenoid Valve

now this is really cool.. im so stupid and didnt look at the post earlier.. but i mean im soo not a mechanic.. i have to have someone hold my hand but i am trying. lol the map sensor..would that cause my car not to idle right? i looked up a search and it said it was ON the throttle body.. so i mean that could be causing this..( i posted this video before) but now im a almost certain thats whats causing it to do this..

the other is the vtec selenoid valve.. now that could be the problem as to why im not hittin vtec.. could it? i just wish i knew more as to how they are wired and stuff.. cause im just afraid if i replace this part.. its still not going to work maybe because the guy who done the swap didnt wire the vtec properly. but.. how would anyone of u all go about checking these things and if u was a greenhorn at torubleshooting these things.. i live in eastern ky. trust me the mechanics here wouldnt know how to even start on this b16a motor. any info i would GREATLY appreciate.

sorr for the quick bump but i went outside and looked.. and im pretty sure now the guy who done the swap on the car did do a good job.. cause by the looks of it.. he wired it up and the car DID hit vtec at one time.. cause i peeled back some of the loom and i seen heatshrink. soooo id say all it is IS my selenoid valve.. cause i read if this sensor goes out UR car will not engage into vtec. is it common for these sensors to go out?
see look...



so i mean the selenoid is WIRED to somethin lol... the wires jsut aint danglin around there.

and i think i just wanna make sure this IS my MAP sensor right?


i would LOVE for someone to help me on this
