I know for a fact it's wired correctly but I can't seem to figure it out. It shows that XX-over @ the set RPM's & the light goes from green to red but the VTEC isn't engaging! The instruction are a bit confusing & I had a VAFC I before this one. On the version I you just hook it up & it works. But on the version II I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong or, does this thing need to be programmed in some way to make the VTEC work? It has alot more features than the old one & would really like to use it but I can't quite figure it out. Any info would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

 

i do know that u have to set the engagement point if it didnt come prebuilt i dont remember if mine did or not

You have to set it for what kind of car first. Set it for a 4 cylinder. Same **** happened to me.

I might just put the VS I back in till I can make some sense of this thing!

after you do the intial setup your suposed take it for a quick run to engage the vtec so the vafc can learn the parameter of the factory settings. with out doing this it doesnt have the knowledge to correct it. intialize the settings, do the setup, do you tps test and your map test and then turn it off to store those settings then start it up take it for a run to engage the vtec then you can change the engagment points with the controller. (the lights change and the vafc show it engaging because its set in the controller but it doesent know where the ecu engages.

 

do you have the instructions or the installation manual. if so follow the setup procedures exactly (use the installation manual to figure out which vtec setup, tps voltage and cyl ect.) any questions let me know.

good advice....my vafc II is now a realy expensive digital tach since I got my hondata s200b.

 

With my vafc hooked up to my gsr it would give a map cell and all the wires was hooked up right. So I took it off, but that was the older model one, I dont know about the new model.

Or use it in the car for eye-candy.lol So tell me, what was the difference when you swapped to Hondata?

dont know I havent installed it yet still waiting for the rest or my setup. here are some pics though. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=974988.

 

I put my hondata in and burned my first basemap, and guess what my car ran haha
But its a p29 with a gsr program so what happens with the 2ndary butterlys/?

 

Is the VTEC set for VTEC 1? There are 3 different types of VTEC, on the ITR it is type 1. Make sure it is set for that. That could be one of the problems maybe.
