Default Car got broken into, thieves stole VTEC Controller.

I was wondering if I could still run my car? I'm a newb and second owner of the car so I duno lol.

I could turn on my car today when I found out my controller was stolen. How could somebody open my door just like that o_O?

Here's a video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ht1LJFCkcrU

You could just remove the wiring from the harness and mate the original wires back together by the ecu.

It should. I think you'll notice the car running better without the piggyback VAFC

They did you a favor! its not a very good engine management and its a magnet for a thieve. looks cool though i had one years back but you should be good and your idle looks fine once your motor warms up the idle will drop!
