yes i seached hours and hours on s2ki.. coun't find any solution...


here's my story..

bought vafc 1(used) and installed by good mechanic

but after car starts... about 5 min later CEL light comes on...


same thing even i drive... about 5 min later CEL light comes on...


As soon as CEL light comes on... car goes into safe mod...

and idle is good... but as soon as i touch throttle doesn't matter how high i rev...

even with little blip... rpm comes down to almost 200rpm... just like it wants to die... and goes back to normal idle rpm... around 800-900...


so un plug battery and within 2-3 min.. i start the car again....

than it runs good... for 5 min... within 5 min.. evey thing is good...

idle, vtec all the way to 9k.... and even with blip or rev... rpm doesn't drop to

200rpm.. like safe mod...


i don't know what's going on.....

what would be my problem?

wiring? or setup?

thank you so much for u help~

R.P.M

It is possible that it could be your wiring. How are the wires hooked up to your ECU harness, are the wires soldered or crimped? Try unpluging you VAFC and go for a drive to see if your problem happens again.

s2kvancouver

it's crimped... without using harness...

i will try to take some pics....

sorry for big pix

have you tried to initialize everything again? If everything is set to zero and cycl is 4 etc...the only thing that is left is the wiring. Maybe there is a loose connection, or maybe he mixed up one of the wires. Maybe try soldering the wires together.

I've been told whenever working with an ecu crimping is a big no no. I would solder all the connections, that's how I installed mine.

any other thoughts? plz~ help me out..

make sure the wiring is all correct...i had the similar problems with my old civic using a SAFC "hack" for my turbo and it turned out one of the wires was switched...

Solder is great.

Have you tried disconnecting the Vafc and go for a ride to see if it happens again? Have you double checked the wiring instructions?
