Well I installed my vafc yesterday and everything was hooked up correctly. I checked it at least 7 times to make sure all wires are where they are supposed to be and secure. When I started the car it sounded a little rough, but then smoothed itself out and was acting normal. Everything was set at stock settings so nothing was messed with. My friend and I took it out for a test drive and I was driving normal(shifting between 3000 - 4000rpm) and the car drove very smooth with no problems at all. I decided to take it to 6000rpm and when I did it was like the computer threw a whole bunch of fuel to it. The car bogged down and then stalled. I could smell gas from the intake(stock box) and the mufflers. I then tried to restart it and it took a little while cause it must have flooded it with fuel. It finally started and the idle felt kind of rough but then smoothed itself out like before. I drove it home shifting at again 3000 - 4000rpm and had no problem. First thing I did was check the wiring once more to make sure everything was connected and connected in the correct place, and it was. I decided to take the vafc out of the car and to see if everything would be ok that way. I reconnected all the wires just how it was stock and then started. Well I got a Check Engine Light right away. I backed out of my driveway and put it in first to drive away for another test drive and as soon as I got up to 3mph the car began to jerk and would almost stall. Now my question is, could it just be a sensor that is causing this? Maybe the Air Temp Sensor, TPS, MAP, or O2? I did smell alot of fuel in my air filter, so is it possible that the fuel burnt out one of those sensors? Also, I smelt a lot of fuel from the mufflers so could it be that the O2 got burnt up from the fuel? Thanks for your help! Didn't mean for this to be so long either

Oh and one more thing. Am I able to check the code that the computer is throwing? I know in the B series ecu's you were able to trip the wires and see the CEL blink a certain amount of times and it would tell you a code.

I'd be more inclined to help if you Thanked me the first time I helped

 

Well at the end of that post it says thanks. I always appreciate everyones help on this board, even if I forget to thank them sometimes. With the diagram post I was too excited to install it, but it didn't go too well.

Did you have your MAP sensor set (06), TPS span calibrated and with the correct orientation (0-100% not 100%-0)?

 

Yes we had the Sensor Type set to 06 in and 06 out. The throttle position was fine also.

 

I posted the diag codes some time ago. Here they are again:



If I remember rightly you short a plug under the dash, then turn the ignition on. The lights will flash a number of times then pause, then repeat. And if the first flash is a long one that means 10+ the number of short flashes.

 

Thats perfect...Thank You. And also Thank you RT
