Well i installed my VAFC a few days ago and just a few minutes ago my car stalled and i couldn't start it in traffic. Whenever i would press on the throttle it would attempt to rev and then just die. Then i started my car again and again and again, and i was able to rev my car to 2500 and i had to slip my clutch out like that in order for me to not stall. There is absolutely no power before 2000. Even if i floor my throttle it still won't do anything.

Please if anyone can help me i would really appreciate it.

 

Throw away the Vafc, they are pieces of ****. Nothing can replace a stand alone engine management system because they require more than just the settings of 2 vtec points, one rev limit point and, and 5 hi/ low cam points.

 

wow great techsupport there, guy.

StinkyTofu:
have you set up your VAFC correctly, per the instructions? i mean have you it up for a 4 cylinder engine and made the little arrow adjustment point in the right direction?

 

Yeah i have everything set up right. I'm thinking about taking out my vafc and trying to reconnect all my stock wires back (this is gonna be a pain).

I guess i forgot to mention my mods...

Toda Spec B
Spoon JDM ITR pistons
Mugen Headgasket
skunk2 gears/retainers
Portflow valvetrain.

The rest is just i/h/e.

I got this stuff installed a week ago and my car just started to act funny 1 day after i installed my vafc (which was a few days ago).

 

Well mechanic and I took a look at my car today. I think we found out the problem. Apparently, my VAFC install was perfectly fine.

Heres the scary stuff...we couldn't find out what was wrong, so we took out the timing gun and checked out the timing. We noticed it was WAY off and tried adjusting it with the distributor. Then we figured out that wasn't the problem. We opened the valve cover and right away, we saw that the intake cam slipped ALL the way retarded.

My question is that is anything damaged to my motor? I drove my car home and it worked....Before we popped the valve cover we started her up to see what would happen after we soldered the wiring for the vtec controller. We got it to not stall and we revved it a bit and it sounded perfectly fine.

I guess i'm super lucky?
