Ok, I took my car to the dealer and basically it was a waste of time. They took a look at my overall setup, wiring, vacuum lines, etc. They basically told me that my vacuum lines were routed wrong, and when they put them the way they were supposed to be. The dealer said the car was running horribly or very rough in there words. So they had to configure the car back to the way it was when I brought it in, in order to make the car run right. I can say honestly my car feels fine, besides the minor exhaust leak.
The car idles a tad high when you press on the gas but appears to resumes normal idle 5-10 seconds after letting of the gas. They also told me I had the wrong computer and even though I had no check engine lights on, the car was not reading the sensors correctly. They also told me I should have used the prelude wire harness.
I told them the car is running the right ECU which is a p13 and the guy on the phone simply said umm ok. These people seemed completely clueless. I would assume that they would have the capability to verify I have the right ECU as opposed to guessing and asking me over the phone. To end, they told me that they do not want to deal with the issues that they think my car has. Overall I was very disappointed, now here my new problem.
At first I was not sure if this was happening, honestly though, I did not want to believe this was happing. I’m not getting vtec in first gear, but all other gear seem fine. The only code I’m getting, like I mentioned before is a code 12(EGR). I think I’m throwing this code because the line that supposed to connect to the EGR valve then from there connects to the EGR Solenoid valve is not hooked up. When I first got my car back form the person who did my swap, vtec was working in first gear. I’ve not been able since to engage vtec in first gear. I can tell the car is cutting off the fuel at a low rpm, but it’s hard to actually tell because I have no tach. The dealer did mention I was getting a signal from the dizy for my tach, so maybe I just a need a replacement or something. Any idea on this vtec issue. From some basic research I’ve done this is a problem some other people have experienced.
