Ya it has three bars, i just took my harness out and pluged my sock ECU wires back and it revd up to 9k just fine, Upon lookin at my harness i see a loose wire, but i dono if that happened when i pulled it out or if it was already there. If it was already there then it might be the cause, but if not then..it has to be somethin wrong with the VAFC or the Harness right?

yes, it's most likely your wiring. Things rattle, get loose, shit happens. Just be sure your connections are good (soldered) with no crimp on type or butt connector type connectors.

get the hot glue sticks specific for plastics/electrical. Don't use the ones for wood/arts and crafts b/c they aren't sticky enough.
