For a couple weeks my car has been running like crap, getting a check engine light for most of the settings i have done on my FPR, a little frustrated because it felt like whenever vtec engaged the car bogged and there wasnt much of a pull.

Well after a while i went to my mechanic friend and he suggested a low of 32 psi(yeah, i was really skeptical as hell) and work my way up, so after a while i went ahead and tune it up to 38, and wow, what a difference it made my car feel, pulls hard, vtec screams loud(aem intake) and very responsive

Just wanted to share with everyone how much i miss vtec pulling hard and loud, its like not having a daily dosage of it makes me have the blues but its all good now

 

 

Are we talking about tire pressure here?

 

fuel pressure regulator actually

 

stock ITR pressure is 40psi...
what did you have it set @ before?

So good to hear...luckily I still have VTEC in my Van...

 

I heard vtec today =x

 

fugg you david

 

 

did you set it to 38psi with the vaccum line on or pinched?

 

*shrugs!

 

Well at first i had it set at 46 psi, Check engine ran a code of 4-5 system too rich system too lean, and obviously it couldnt be system too lean so i kept on tuning it down 2 psi at a time, and everytime i reconnect the battery to reset ecu, Check engine light would come back on again after a day or two. After a bit i mention in my first post i set it at 32 psi, and no more Check Engine, but the car didnt have that VTEC Kick i was looking for.

So I turn the psi up a bit to 35, still felt the same but better till i got it to 38 psi, and i felt the difference there, vtec was loud, pulls hard, all in all i was one happy guy who didnt get his vtec


not really sure what you mean by "pinched" but i just put the vacuum line back into my fpr.
