nothing could be as bad as what i saw the other day lol.

pics would help to know your identifying the right wires & this doesnt just turn into some wild goose chase

**norm84** · 28-07-2009 09:50 PM

ok the wire i did rig up today was the Vtec wire... i think its the comp hey

**norm84** · 28-07-2009 09:54 PM

ill re do the wire now, and see how it goes tomorrow. i might even see if i can rig up a new plug to fit into the A4 part...

**CRXer** · 28-07-2009 09:55 PM

A4 turns vtec solenoid on/off with 12V,solenoid grounded thru the cylinder head
whole A-plug(26pin) in general is outputs

**CRXer** · 28-07-2009 10:19 PM

stop editing your posts lol,or make one post or somethin...

if u need a new pin to go into A4,i have some here

just to make sure we're speaking the same language & u dont blow something else up

**norm84** · 28-07-2009 11:04 PM

hard to tell anything from the pic for wiring,too far away.

ecu looks like its had a couple of traces repaired below the chip,unless thats just wierd lighting effect...

what does the sticker say on the side of the ecu? ie P30 or P28 or P06 or P??,etc
could be one of those nasty vtec converted jobs
