I have a 99 Accord i4 w/ FMAX turbo kit. Recently I got rid of the 2 extra Lucas injectors that shot thru the I/C piping before the TB and put in DSM 450cc injectors w/ inline resistors. I took the car out and it ran 10 times better with the new injectors on a quick street tune.

I decided I was tired of vac lines everywhere so I put in a GE Vacuum Manifold and tapped off the brake booster. I checked all lines and there are no leaks.

I also installed at the same time a Moroso catch can. The catch can is mounted underneat where the battery used to be originally.

I relocated the battery to the trunk, grounding out on the rear bumper. In the engine bay is a distributor block with two 0-gauge outlets getting the 0 gauge wire from the battery in the trunk and the other end getting the dist wire. The other 4 guage inlets have the alternator wire and a wire for the headlights.

I started the car and the car was misfiring, through the cylinder 1-4 misfire codes, random misfire, etc. I deleted them and they came back. I check the vac lines and all the electrical sensors and bled the radiator of any air pockets b/c when I put in the catch can there is that line on all Hondas off the intake that is metal that runs off the valve cover and has a coolant line attached to it. I got rid of that piece and just put a coolant line from one end to the other.

Now I am gettin a code for MAP/BARO Circut High Input.. .WTF? And the misfire codes are gone. The car is not reading or making boost either. The vacuum gauge isnt moving... PLEASE HELP!!!

 

you t'd off of the brake booster before the check valve right?

 

Ok I fixed part of the problem. I had not tee'd in before the brake booster check valve. I did that now and I am getting boost again. I also need to put a check valve on my BOV b/c it is releasing some air at idle. I am still getting MAP/BARO Circuit High Input though. WTF? I deleted it and it keeps comin back. I have the Missing Link to get rid of codes like that i thought. Is it coming up b/c im runnin too rich?

Also, I have the Skunk2/Fields VTEC controller. I think part of the reason this thing is misfiring is too much fuel. For those of you not familiar with this controller, you can adjust fuel levels +/- 1% up to 30% of adjustment per thousand RPM's. Now I don't know what the stock injectors put out for psi; i was thinking like 225psi, but now I have the DSM 450's. So I'm trying to figure out what I should have for adjustments? Right now at 1k it is -8, 2k -8, 3k - 0, 4k - 1, 5k - 1, 6k - 1. Is that still dumping in too much fuel? Based on your EXPERIENCE (PLEASE DON'T GIVE ME YOUR GUESSES - I DON'T WANT TO BLOW MY ENGINE UP) either with this VTEC controller or the Apexi VAFC, what would you set the figures at?

put it on a wideband and figure it out. All anyone is going to do is guess unless you have actual a/f figures.

 

Speaking of which, do you recommed the LM-1?
