Ok, Im connecting the Vtec here shortly.
I just thought even though the Vtec was disconnected, the motor would be stronger then a Geo metro w/5 passangers
I'll let u Know how it goes,
Thanks

All Right, Problems not over yet, I wired up the Vtec and test drove it, Everything is the same, but when Vtec engages it pulses (like a redline limiter) Maybe restricted airflow?
**btw Im using an Ls throttle body right now, could this restrict air that much?

btw- thank whoever deleted my post which was directly above yours, which pretty much said, in not so many words, what i was refering too above.

Ok I could try another Ecu, a little hard to get 1 right now.
I also noticed that my fuel is running extremely rich, soaking the spark plugs.
I also have a si throttle body on the way, switching my o2 sensor (from stock ls 1, probably never changed), will be doing a fuel pressure and oil pressure test after the throttle body comes.
On another note, My rpm on my cluster is innop., Isn't the blue wire on the dizzy run to the rpm? (*swapped 0b1ls dizzy w/ obd2 type r dizzy).
Some notes on this would really help.
Thanks
