Hello boys and Girls
I wanted to be cool so i decided to put a Vtec light in my lil civic. Pretty simple stuff. Splice into the wire on the Vtec sensor and connect that to a bulb and connect the oter wire on the bulb to the ground and you are done.
So after doing that, i warmed up my car and toole it out for a spin. It works :cool: , but my engine light (the one with the engine picture) come on. So i immediately shut off the engine and checked everything out, it's all good, nothing blowing up. I started the car up again and everything was fine. So i hit Vtec againg and the light (engine light) didn't come on. So i thought it was all good. But driving again tonight my light came on after i hit Vtec for the 3rd time it came on, so like b4 i turned the car off, inspected it and back on and everything was fine.
So what 'm thinking is that my LED i put on is drawing all the signal out of the Vtec wire and that's messing with the computer. Has anyone else had this problem??? The car still runs fine so i'll keep driving it without hitting Vtec. And i'll also disconnect the light and see if that fixes it.
Thanx for the help and sorry for the novel i just wrote :o
