EDIT: Drove car home (or should I say limped). It doesn't want to rev past 2K. It hesitates or misses. I get code 7 (TPS) and code 20 (ELD). I'm hoping that TPS is just wiring issue with the VAFC. The other code is going to be there because 88 preludes didn't have ELD.

:END EDIT

Just put back together (tranny swap) my JDM H22. It runs fine and revs fine (other than the Code 7) but when I rev it up say over 3K, when it tries to return to idle, the car dies. Also the VAFC isn't showing any throttle until atleast over 2K and at WOT, it's way off (shows like 20%).

Sound like the TPS gone bad (or can it be adjusted?)? What else would create these symptoms? I don't have a spare TPS sensor or a voltmeter to test wires. Guess it's time to invest in a voltmeter?

Thanks in advance!

BTW, the car ran fine until about a year ago when it was parked to begin the tranny swap. After sitting for a year, it cranked right up but I question the quality of gas that remains in the car (not very much either). I'm going to have a couple of gallons added and let her run for a good 10-15 minutes to work out the old gas the best I can...

Update:

Car does not run right afterall. Anything above 2000 and any kind of load even will make the car hesitate. The check engine light flashes while it's doing this and the VAFC seems to go into reboot mode (like maybe loosing power). Seeing as this is an H22 swap in a 3rd gen, I'm thinking wiring. I'll try to take a closer look tonight.

I did verify code 7 is the TPS and seeing as how the VAFC is showing incorrect throttle percentage, it makes sense.

I'm going to rewire the vtec controller if it was installed with the inline connectors as this connection has been known to mess things up. I'll check the wiring in general.

Anyone have a wiring diagram for the VAFC and the P13 JDM ECU? Someone help me out here!

 

ttt...anyone have any ideas on what's causing my H22 to run poorly?

Anyone have a spare TPS?

 

jason..hit me up i got a few extra tps's laying around...

 

Thanks jeremy. Keep them in case I really need them in the future. I was able to adjust the TPS to get it to read right. Also got drivability issues fixed. Car's running decent now though it could use a little more tuning...

 

yeah my vafc2 did the same thing as you re blew my tps and caused the car to run like sheat ---- they can easily ground out if you are not careful --- I think they are crap am switching to hondata setup apexi can keep their vafc 2
