Default Skunk 2 intake manifold problems...

The manifold was installed by a friends friend on my friends car, if you follow that then we are off to a good start. alright, now the problems begin. The car does not feel like vtec is engaging, infact, it doesnt even pull now, the car is a slug. Both the vti and vto lights on the vafc both turn on at the same time. it has never done this before, and the car also went through 3/4 of a tank of gas in 100 miles, a bit extreme? and also, the tach skips all around now. and on the back of the manifold, to the far right there is a plug that is just capped off, on my itr swap this line is in use, well any help would be appreciated.

so the car is a 1992 integra gsr? and it has the original block (b17) with a PR3 head? the skunk2 manifold should be a straight bolt on afair.

are there any check engine lights on?

is the head a p72 or a or3?

what ecu are you running? are you using a vtec controller?

its a p72 head, supposed to have been off of a 94, says 93 on the stamp, no CEL's, stock 92 gsr ecu, and yes, he is using a vtec controller which has been in the car since before the skunk2 intake manifold install.

The most common problem I have seen with skunk2 manifold install problems is switching the MAP and TPS sensor plugs, since they are identical.
