I'm at work now

I get home at 6.30PM.

I forgot to add, the map sensor isn't physically attached to the throttle body and there is a hose going to the TB rather then being attached to it.

Is that normal ? :/ I read somewhere that the jap b16a's map sensors were mounted to the firewall rather then the throttle body itself, would this be the case ?

**bennjamin** · 14-10-2009 09:02 AM

that might be the case. That is a jap del sol TB and probably engine. Maybe look at getting a normal TB with a normal location of a MAP sensor and go from there

I recall issues with the same setup , with lukenez car. (he had the same b16a with relocated MAP)

Thanks for that Ben.

I'm assuming a normal throttle body would go straight onto the skunk2 manifold ? Never dealt with these manifolds before.

Also which TB's are interchangable ? Any B series ? Or other ones aswell ? If other ones can go straight onto it I might aswell go into the honda section at pick and payless and just rip one off a car and see if that helps.

pretty much any b d series will work for testing. But try to get a b16a one off say a b16a2 etc so the gasket is nice and lined up

Motospecs (a division of Repco) sell B-series MAP sensors. The part number is CMS218. It's actually used on a few different Honda engines, i.e. some F and D series. I can't get a price for you atm though cos I went home early from work. But call them up and ask when you get a chance.

Would it be my map sensor though ? Because after pulling it off and plugging it back in tight, im not getting the code #3 anymore so that got rid of the map sensor code.

VAFCII hand controller.
tuning promblem ?

maybe your ecu had traction control and thats the problem now it hasnt got it in this car

some eg6's had traction control

**tiksie** · 14-10-2009 06:06 PM

Yeah im getting the traction control error which is #36.

I don't know Lan, but I will be removing the VAFCII this weekend, is it as easy as just removing the wires from the ecu harness and resetting the ECU ? It's runny preety rich as it is with the VAFCII, probably a shit tune.

If it were to be the TCS #36 error, I don't know how that will explain the bogging ? Only occurs when engine has been warmed up, doesn't do it when it's cold.

vtec is not engaged when cold tahts why

**vinnY** · 14-10-2009 06:18 PM

iirc you have to reconnect 2 wires after you take out the vafc harness
one is the vtec signal wire and the other was something else i can't remember right now

edit; you have to reconnect the vtec solenoid signal input/output and the pressure signal input/output as you have to intercept these two instead of just splicing
