Icon6 got some swap ignition problems i suppose

let me explain my setup so itll be better understood why my car would mess up

i have a 95 civic dx hatch with a B16a2 with 11:1 comp pistons, stage 2 clutch, VAFC, short ram, 421 dc sport headers and a no name 2.5" exhaust.

so the problem is this,

sometimes when i start from a cold crank it takes me a few times to start. the car starts up and then dies. this will happen a few times before it will hold rpms. on my vafc it says my car is only at 720rpms when start up. and also when my car is driving my car wont accelerate until i press the gas 7% on my VAFC readings.

jw what was up.

you can check your TPS output in the sensor check of your VAFC which is all i use mine for
