is it wired for vtec?

 

yes vtec is wired, i can hear vtec engaging

 

throw it on a dyno dont go by the seat of your pants dyno. what ecu? have a buddy check it with a wideband o2 to see if you are running lean and have a fuel system problem

 

im running a p72, also vtec is starting to stutter, i checked all the ground and rechecked the wiring and everything checks out, now with the cel43 it comes on occassionally, whenever it feels like it

 

up.. need help.. gotta get it fix b4 i go to iraq

 

Just curious, you used the GSR wiring harness right?

 

do a tune up just start with the basics thats my opinion... that sux man good luck with the fix

 

yea gsr wiring harness, it shouldnt matter what wiring harnesses right? as long as its vtec compatible?? i hope it doesnt have a leak gasket or anything, and plus how can i tell if its leaking?

What would make you think it has a leak?
Is it burning or consuming lots of oil?
Have you looked for leaks?
Compression test?

 

Throwing any codes? Compression numbers?

 

yeah its throwing a code 43 and sometime it throw a vtec code, but vtec engages fine..

 

need to start with the basics..
check if your timing is correct, if you're getting poor or below average gas mileage your timing may be off, this can cause a huge loss in power
maybe your plugs are going bad
maybe you have a leak somewhere in your intake manifold that's causing a lean/rich condition
maybe you need to clean the sensors on the i/m
your o2 sensor may be bad
etc.

 

will do tomorrow, i'll fill yall in

 

yea check ur plugs. that is slow my teg gsr ran 15.8 with just intake...

are you sure its not the secondary butterflys you hear?

 

hmm now that u mention it, it might be the secondary butterfly

 

check to see if the knock sensor is plugged in or even wired into the ecu. i had the same prob. my hatch would only run 15.1 and found out that the knock wasnt hooked up now im running 13.7
