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.

Have you firgured out why it throws the error? We are looking to have error-less operation.

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.

Oil Pressure is a parameter that needs to be met for VTEC engagement.

2k isnt gonna do it, it kicks in mid 4k rpms.

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?

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).

 
Rep Power: 0

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?

Hey whats UP


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?

My harness would be hooked up like this

4 - 8 - C

ch 1 in to yellow green coil 1
ch 1 out to ecu yellow green coil 1
ch 2 in to white blue coil 3
ch 2 out to ecu white blue coil 3
ch 3 in to brown coil 4
ch 3 out to ecu brown coil 4
ch 4 in to blue red coil 2
ch 4 out to ecu blue red coil 2

To use the vtec setting in the emanage - try this:

I don't have an EX - so I can't do this. But this is the supposed magical fix....

Interesting, where did you find this? I might try it when I return home & have a spare hour or 2.

Got it from a guy on clubrsx - name's robyn, he is on the emanage support forums and makes counterfit cables....he's a good guy.

nice to know the emanage works caus ei will be boosted soon...

If you didn't know what error 14 was, it is the vtec input or output (can't remember which) error that is fixed by disconnecting the vtec wires from the emanage. I have been running like this for about 6 months now and my car pulls very hard on only 5 psi. I did have a problem when I put a wide band on the car and tried to make fuel adjustments.....it seems like when you adjust the fuel rich/lean the wideband will show adjustments but after about 10 seconds they start to go back to what they were before.....anyone noticed this? It seems like the stock ecu is fighting the changes.....

I posted a possible fix already - I believe you need to install a diode to get the VTEC to work properly.....No one seemed to want to try it though.

ok guys.. after going to the dyno my car has 2 problems...
e-manage cant read map... so theres no values going through on the map....
also... at idle.... my car is at 4000-5000 rpm.... any sugestions etc etc???
wtf is going on?? anyone want to share their map??? as soon as I finish my dyno I will post all my data including my gsc file... but I really need your support now...

Can't read your map sensor voltage? Sounds like installed wrong. Double check your wires on that. Post up your results.

What would OBD2 have to do with it? I am running a fully functional E-Manage on my 7thgen Turbo'd Civ daily driven with minimal to no problems at all. Not to mention all of our cars are OBD2.....Opto is running it fine too.
