I heard it's best to keep the vtec engagement stock. It should only be activating when a number of conditions are met, such as appropriate oil pressure and wide open throttle. Activating it at other conditions with the vafc may cause problems down the line.
But try the initial setup again and set all those options on the first page. If they're not set right, the car runs like crap.
I took my car to garage qwai and had them tune it, and they set the vtec to 2800rpms. I have it back to stock now.

Yeah just check out the chicago forums. It's pretty dead most of the time, but there will be meets posted occasionally. The best turnouts are in the spring.
is the check engine light on, and did you reset everything and redo the settings? Put the vtec to passive mode (****), since you shouldn't change that anyway. I'll post my wide throttle settings for a/f or you can search for the thread where I posted the dyno. It's different for every car tho.
ok, you guys are totally gonna make fun of me for this, i went through and double checked my connections and guess what?? i had the sensor input and sensor output wires SWITCHED!!! lol, i got it fixed, the cars runnin, no engine probs, no check engine light, running smoother than a babys bottom, thank you guys so much for helpin me out, id love to see those A/F ratios, but i think im gonna get it dyno tuned..... heres the site to my car, if you guys wanna check it out, im gonna have new pics posted soon and im workin on headers right now....anyone wanna add to my list of up coming parts....?? the goal for this car is 13's on 1/4 N/A thanks guys :-D http://www.programgeeks.net/other/de...s/tanveer/car/
Glad you got it working. Your future mods look good, but some of those are not made yet for our cars. Stay away from regrind cams, intake manifold, and throtle body if you're staying NA. Maybe a light bore, but that's it. No aftermarket crank pully if you want the engine to last.
wait, so an intake manifold is not N/A?? i thought it was naturally aspirated, and as for pulleys, what do they do to the engine?, im just wondering cuz im kind of confused, thanks...and ill keep u guys posted on the status.
Intake manifold is generally not a good mod for an NA car. Someone did design one here that made more torque and hp, but it cost his $2000 and was full custom job. The KMS manifold is junk and actually causes major power loss if you don't have a turbo.
