I had a friend tell me my IACV and VTEC plug might have beeen misplaced and that might be the cause of me not having vtec engage on my obd0 B16A.

So i switched the two plugs and ran it and still drove the same with no vtec and still idled low so i out them back to how they originally were and I go to leave for work and it wont crank over fully. Its wanting to start but not run.

Anyone ?

 

Reset the ecu disconect the battery for 3 mins then try

 

i reset it twice and got nothing

 

Also . . My fuel pump isnt priming anymore and the Check Engine Light doesnt turn off after like the 2 seconds it takes for the pump to prime

 

Chances are your ECU is dead now. Most people burn out a circuit when they swap IAT and IACV plugs, but I'm unsure about VTEC. Also, on you for not using a continuity tester. You NEVER use trial and error when it comes to wiring and an ECU.

I'd suggest starting it with the gas pedal pressed a little to compensate for a broken IACV, or turn the idle screw out a few turns. Otherwise try a different ECU...

 

would there be any chance its my main relay or are you positive its the ecu ?

 

check the ECU itself, if the blinking LED is solid red and not blinking, its a good chance your ECU is bad

Pray it's a fuse.

Main relay

 

try another good ecu and see if that fixes it
