I just got done wiring my VTEC controller part of my VAFC and I got a check engine light.I wired the pink and purple to the green with yellow stripe on the 26 pin connector.Can anyone confirm this please?

 

What code are you throwing?

 

I'm not sure but it idles like crap and its as soon as I start the car
I forgot how to check codes

sounds like its tossing a map sensor code
i had this, are you sure you did not splice any wires off the iac valve?

i had played with those wires a while back, long story...

 

Good job Misa. Yeah, it's your MAP sensor. You'll be throwing a code 4. Check your ground first, then re-check your connections.

 

I'm thinking it might need the blue wire hooked up to the VTM signal wire.Anyone know what the VTM signal is and do our cars have them (94 Accord-F22b). The Apex manual says some cars don't have it..I read that the blue wire is not hooked to anything though.

 

i cant remeber man, ill look for my manual tommorow, this is what was before apex-i changed it again

 

Yeah but it was all hooked up before for months now except for the vtec control wires and I never had a problem.(I was told by Apex'i that the vtec controller won't work on US Accords)

 

dont listen to those fob's

haha... I've lost all faith in Apex now... dumbasses...

John, who has a V-AFC, but will likely never buy another Apex'i product.

 

I wouldn't trust APEXi instructions if that's what your using... both of them for the 6th gens are wrong, even the "corrected" one...

Try to get a helms manual and find out which wire is exactly which on the stock ECU... then match the VAFC wires to the cars... that's what I did... works like a champ... although I had the first time, i had the VTEC in and out mixed up...

and the 6th gens have VTM, so i'm not sure if u have them or not...

the 5th gen 94-95 does have a VTM signal, i can have pictures of Sabastians install sometime tommorow if you need them, also the Apexi install book that he got worked perfect matched up with the ecu layout in the helms.
