There's already a thread in Tech about hooking up and running the e-manage that is stickied. Lets try and keep all this VERY useful info in one spot for people....
I have the VTEC engaged in my support tool, and I changed the VTEC engagement to 4500, and it hits hard.
Only sometimes the error 14 comes on, and I just turn the car on & off twice to reset it & then it works great.
I had that CEL come on when the Air flow meter was at 3, but I changed it to 1 & reset mu ECU by disconnecting negative wire on battery & no CEL after that.
Sorry, my VTEC did not have to engage for the oil pressure to increase, the VTM wire (Oil Pressure Switch) that goes from ECU to E-manage might be the culprit. Does anybody know how this interaction works?
If I start the car, and rev it a bit, around 2000 for 5 seconds, it seems to work. Perhaps I needed to build up some oil pressure.
Here I am quoting myself, anyway well crap. I thought I had it figured out, but when I started it this morn it came on again? Doesn't do it when the car is warmed up though, so I am still wondering exactly what is causing it (the error 14 that is).

Hmm. Oil temp & pressure are parameters that have to be met for VTEC to engage. If the vehicle only gets this error when it is cold, maybe it has to do with the E-Manage saying VTEC can engage at any given time because it doesn't require any parameters, but the stock ECU overrides based upon other parameters such as temp, pressure & load are nto met. Result = error

That sounds like a possible culprit. I will keep experimenting though.
Well I disconnected the VTEC wites & VTM from E-Manage and connected them back to ECU. No more error 14's - my neighbor's were getting mad at me for warming up my car like that when I started it.
But it doesn't feel the same - kinka like Vtec is not engaging anymore, smooth power up to redline, no kick from vtec - don't know why?
Any helpful hints on the ignition, I can't get mine to work but I shorted out the harness and the car starts. wondered what Jumper configuration everyone was using ???

I have all the harnesses hooked up, and working properly. Did you connect it using the firing order? Also make sure your ins & outs are done properly. If an "in" channel is on a spot that supposed to be an "out" that can happen. What rotary settings are you using?
