JET V-FORCE not working right

I was just wondering if anyone has used the jet v-force without any problems. Supposedly it works for our cars. I wired it correctly, im positive i checked it like 50 times. I start the car and i can definetly tell a difference it revs alot smoother, more power, etc. It will be fine for about 30 minutes then my check engine light comes and i cant rev past 3500 rpm!!! as soon as it hits 3500 the fuel cuts off like its at redline. I have injen cai and a custom exhaust. Does anyone know why it is doing this???? Please help if u have any ideas Thanks

this happens to me also but it takes a day or two for the light to turn on and sometimes it will do the fuel cut off thing

I had a problem like that once and it was either my TPS or MAP sensor wires, make sure if you tapped into those wires, which I bet you did, that the connections are good!

I have a similar problem with S-AFC there is no signal coming from the TPS when it is plugged in and when I try to accelerate it revs then all of a sudden it drops and then goes back up again..The only way my car works is if i disconnect the TPS and drive with it off....but then the engine idles at around 1100-1200 rpms but it still runs. I took it to honda and they said it was a short circuit somewhere in the dash and said it would be around $200 to fix, of course i didnt go for that so then i took it to a shop and they said it was a faulty TPS but i doubt it, since the only way to get a new TPS is by buying a whole throttle body directly from Honda, im gonna go to honda sometime this week and let them fix the short cicuit if thats waht it is

I had JETChip re-program my ECU instead...the V-Force would not make a noticeable difference.
