Default i can't floor it...

ok, all tonight, i was driving along with my friend and my car felt sluggish--when i was fllooring it...

i punched second n third, and it did indeed feel weak.
my boy was like, whoa, ur VAFC it topping out @ 85%-----
so we do some more tests, and the highest i can get is 85 percent.

i have the skunk2 itm and the itr throttle body cable---i checked that and they both seemed to be ok...

i put the key in the ignition, two clicks forward to turn on the vafc, and i floor it...
i can get 100%...

but when the engine is on, i can only top out @ 85%...

any ideas?

---if the hondatechers cant help me, hopefully the doods at the htech meet today can check it out

I believe its your TPS sensor. See if you can find a spare one, and swap it in.

check the voltage with the car off but on the on position.
no throttle and at wot

no throttle=.45V
WOT=4.5V

Since you have an VAFC you can do the readings from that. Make sure that the voltage doesnt stumble as you slowly go WOT

If I remember its under the throttle guages or vafc setup. Refer to your owners manual.

I had the exact same problem as you earlier. But mine would still display 85% when the engine was off. I don't know if this will help your problem, but tighten your throttle cable. It worked for me.

This was the best mod I did for 1 minute of my time
