Re: apexi vafc problem(searched) (civic-4-ges)
You unclipped the VAFC while the car was running and that means you disconnected the MAP sensor and whatever else the VAFC interupts.
TURN YOUR CAR OFF and reset the ECU by either pulling the negative off the battery or pulling the ECU fuse out for about 10 seconds.
Then plug the VAFC back in and connect the battery.
When you start the car it should be back to normal..

Yep I know this because I did the same thing.
And also because my VAFC crapped out on me while i was driving and a CEL came on. I was like WTF? since i hardly ever have a CEL just pop up on me. Looked down and the VAFC was blank and it never came on since..
