I just finished wiring up my VAFC 2. The instruction booklet had an ECU map for EF8 - b16a and DA6 - b16a (same map, naturally), so I'm confident I used the right diagram. I'm also confident I followed that diagram exactly, and I'm pretty damn sure my connections are good. But the car won't start, nothing shows up on the VAFC (blank screen), and the ECU is throwing a code 0 (LED always on). The car ran fine before I started messing with it. Any suggestions? The only thing I can see maybe having screwed up is the direction of the diagram. I counted all the pins with the plug openings facing away from me, which is how the booklet told me to do it. Is that right?

 

did you set the parameters on the VAFC correctly ?

 

The VAFC won't turn on. So I can't set the parameters.

 

bad connection or improper installation.

 

Check for blown fuses in the fusebox on the passenger shock tower.

 

not to sound like a *****.. but did you put power to the VAFC ??

 

umm... doesn't it get power from the harness? if so, then yes, i plugged the VAFC into the harness.

 

did you confirm that you have have a good power and ground connection ?
