Well i installed my VAFC a few days ago and just a few minutes ago my car stalled and i couldn't start it in traffic. Whenever i would press on the throttle it would attempt to rev and then just die. Then i started my car again and again and again, and i was able to rev my car to 2500 and i had to slip my clutch out like that in order for me to not stall. There is absolutely no power before 2000. Even if i floor my throttle it still won't do anything.

Please if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.

 

ttt, anybody?

 

have you checked your vafc connections to the ecu?

 

Yeah...i just did that right now and i noticed that my red wire (ig power) was off due to a weak crimp. I crimped it back together and everything and my car is still doing the same thing. any other ideas?

 

Rule number one: don`t crimp

 

i have a vafc and i just soldered it to the ecu and i have no problems at all. why dont you take the vafc off and see if your ride is still doign the same thing. this might be a pain in the **** but i think its the only way to really narrow the problem down. if your ride runs fine, then its the vafc and go from there.

 

Well the thing is that when i first installed my VAFC on saturday, it was working fine until sunday, it started to somewhat give these symptons, then today it just got out of control and my car almost couldn't start.

You think tuning my car will fix this?

 

if your car is stock, i dont think tunning in it self will fix the problem. all i can think of is try to recheck all of the connections again. make sure you have all the settings corect.

4 cyl

/ throttle up and to the right

6 in 6 out

hope it all works ofr ya

 

hey, turns out that my vafc install and settings were fine. It was my timing that was really screwed up. My intake cam gear slipped all the way retarded. Next time i'm not going to assume the cam gears come pre-tightened from the factory.

 

That sucks sounds like sombody got lazy on your motor at honda
