I recently installed a VAFC in my 01 ITR. My " Check Engine " light came on and I am curious as to what could be causing this to happen. I am 99 % positive that everything is hooked up right so I am stumped. My mechanic friend is coming over to scan the system to see what he finds. I thought I remember hearing that the VTM signal wire was not supposed to be used or something. I am wondering if that is true and I am wondering what everyones opinions are on this problem. My friend is coming over soon so I would love to be able to cross refference what I find out here versus what he finds. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

 

Please anyone?

 

Have you read your CEL Code yet? thats the best place to start.

 

You should've gotten an updated wiring diagram when you purchased your vafc....i did, and my car runs fine. check your tps and map connections

Check to see that the sensors are set at 6 and 6. That is what fixed mine. If that is not the problem, contact apex. Just e-mail them through apex.com. They respond fairly quick. I could be that sensor # setting, maybe a bad ground, I know that can do it as well.

 

what is there email?? i could not find one on their site?? only numbers...thanks!!

 

I'll have to check when I get back to work on Monday, but I was just on there and noticed it was not there. There used to be an address in the same place the phone #'s were. I'll post my results tomorrow morning.

 

first verify that you have the sensors at 6. then pull the code.

the code will tell you which wire you connected incorrectly. edit: so post the code(s) here when you check it.

I figured out the light but I was wondering what everyone has there two vtec engadgements set to. I am talking about where it kicks in ( Stock ) and where everyone has it turned down to.
