i have a problem guys, my mods are skunk 2 im installed about month ago,vafc2.comptech ice box intake,dc 421 header,greddy sp.Im throwing codes 10,22,6 whats the problem guys please help here is the test

Can anyone please help me figure out the problem,Is it my vafc 2 causing the problems,I know its not my skunk2 im because cel never went on for more than a month.
Here is a pic of my motor setup,please help me point out locations where the electrical problems may be.

 

6 ECT - water temperature sensor
10 IAT - intake air temperature sensor
22 VTEC pressure valve

Heres the meaning of ur codes..

 

i know the meaning but where are these located,could it be my vafc2,how do i fix the problems

 

could be low on oil, and have a bad radiator cap or thermostat. as for the IAT, i believe the vafc alters that signal, that might be a problem, the vafc might alter vtec pres. too.... i dont know.

 

i dont think its ur VAFC. how long ago did u install it? and did it throw any CEL once u installed it. and the VAFC does not alter the IAT, it alters the map sensor voltage.

for code 22, u might be low on oil, have a bad VTEC solenoid, bad wire connection at the solenoid...

for code 6, check to see if ur ater temp sensor is working. follow the hose that leads from the radiator to the engine. around that area on the engine is ur water temp sensor. (im not sure if it's the upper radiator hose u have to follow or the lower one... but i think its the lower one) check the sensor for proper resistance and check to see if the wire that plugs to it has power. i forgot the readings that it should be. it's in my Haynes manual but im too lazy to go in my car for it. go to autozone and buy a haynes manual bro. Everyone should have one of these.

 

its been couple weeks and cel went on,do you think i have bad vtec solenoid how much for all of the parts to replace

 

can you diagram what your talking about on myengine bay i outline for you

 

22 is the VTEC oil-pressure switch, NOT the solenoid. That pressure switch has the green connector below & right of your distributor in the picture. (The solenoid is up above, it's a small cylinder almost hidden by your plug wires.)

6 is the engine coolant temperature sensor. It has a similar 2-wire connector, but located lower & farther back. (Close by is a 1-wire sensor, that's for the dashboard temperature gauge.)

10 is the intake air temperature sensor, it was on the stock intake manifold, I suppose you had to move it to the skunk IM??

Forgot to say... Those codes don't GUARANTEE the sensors are bad. Maybe they're unplugged, or an open circuit somewhere in the wiring.

the skunk places the IAT on either runner 1 or 2 depending which runner its on stock.
