Well I just got my Vafc-2 in the mail today, (thanks to Mike at IPS) and went right out to install it, after reading the instructions first. My car is a Euro spec 99 ITR, and i made sure i used the correct ECU terminal arrangement drawing when hooking it up. After double checking the connections i connected the neg. battery terminal and turned on the ignition, and then performed the initial setup. After this I turned off the ignition again and tried to start the car, but with no success. It turns over but there's no sign of ignition.

Disconnected the neg. battery terminal again for a minute or two and initialized the Vafc before performing the initial setup once more, with the same result.

Someone please help me with this, if not I will have to rip it out again tomorrow as i need the car running to get to work.

 

check your fuses? check engine light coming on when the key is first turned?

 

Any CEL? Check your wiring, make sure you didn't mess up on any of the colors (it is possible, some of them are quite close to each other).

CEL if it's on might tell you the answer.

 

Guess I'll have to recheck the wiring; did a CEL check

Code 15: Ignition Output Signal missing or defective ignition output signal, is the code i got.

Well ok, just have to get my flashlight and I'm out to recheck my wiring job. (it's midnight here now!)

 

Found the problem

I accidentily had managed to cut the Ignition control wire when splicing into it, easily fixed with a soldering iron and some electrical tape. Now it's off to the dyno, hopefully next week.

 

somethign is not hooked up right if it is not starting.....

recheck your wiring
