my buddy had a honda and wrecked it and he had a VAFC hooked up to it , he says he will sell it for 40 bucks to me. i wanted to know if i can hook it up to my 03 lancer ES . i searched the forums but all i figured out is that it probley wont work for the ralliart but what about the ES ?

 

It will work as an afc if you hook it up. So it should work

 

i got it hooked up and now my check engine light is on and it idles kinda high like 1600RPM or so. any ideas on what it could be?

 

Check your sensor type. It should be set to Karman. Also, here is some tips that may help you out:

im using a vafc and i dont see anything to select karmen sensor type. if i go into sensor select it just gives 2 areas one for in and one for out . i set the in on 04 and the out on 04 also and my check engine light is still on. any other ideas on what it could be. i also have all the fuel settings on 0, if that would affect it.

 

i just got back from having autozone pull my check engine code and it came back as P0102 . MAP. or MAF sensor condition . so does that mean that the settings on the V-AFC are off somehow. or do u think its how i wired it up . ive checked over it 3 times now and it matches up to the install guide for it on here. all my connections are soddered togeather. does the VAFC have different wiring then the SAFC ???

 

The reason you're tripping a code is because the sensor is not set correctly for the in and out. You need to do some research and figure out what those values need to be set at. Right now the signal from your MAF is going through the VAFC and the VAFC is altering it before it goes to the ECU.

 

ive looked all over for settings but no on lists them. how do i find out what it needs to be set at?? i searched on here for it and i looked on apexi's site and i havent found anything....

 

ive been searching on honda forums on what i can do to get it to work and they say that the VTM wire must be hooked up or it will throw a check engine light.. i know i dont have vtec but is there a way to hook up the VTM wire on my car to see if that works???

 

does anyone know the number to call APEXI and ask them myself??

 

Do a little looking before asking. they have a website.........http://www.apexi-usa.com/contact.asp

 

well they didnt tell me the settings . so does anyone else have this thing hooked up? if so what are your settings for the IN and OUT settings and any other ones i need to know.

 

Most people here use a SAFC if anything. You probably won't find anyone here that has used this before. Good Luck

 

how do i go about finding out ??? should i post in a different forum ??

 

Not sure, it's a honda part going into a mistu. Might require lengthy work. I'd say check honda forums to find what the things are the vafc actually connects to, then search for wiring diagrams here to find the same things to connect to. That's all I got. Someone that knows more about fuel controllers here might find this to help you out more
