Re: Vtec window - mBar

First thing I checked. No leaks. It's pretty common for clueless people like myself to ruin a perfectly good tb just trying to clean it. What I notice is when the car is off tps.cmd is 4 then when I start the car it goes up then settles back at 3. Never goes to 0 even though tps is 0. When I give i...

Re: Vtec window - mBar

Check if you have any vacuum leak or not. That can cause high idle too. First thing I checked. No leaks.

Re: Vtec window - mBar

Got vtec squared away, no more CEL, and ran into a new issue :shock: While installing my SRI I cleaned the throttle body. In doing so I pushed the butterfly open to clean the backside. After getting everything put back together my idle is high, and I get surges when stopping and when shifting. I've ...

Re: Vtec window - mBar

I got my exhaust on today and was messing around with different settings and kept getting a check engine light for the vtec solenoid when I shifted and stayed in vtec no matter where I had it set. It was fine if I hit vtec in one gear but not when I stayed in it through shifts or hit it through mult...

Re: Vtec window - mBar

Check what mBar you have at WOT, but depends on the engine the mBar can be high at lower rpm not just at WOT. You can change the rpm values in the VTEC window too so 2000-3000 not needed when you have 4600 and 5500 VTEC switching point. It can be something like this: 4000 5000 5400 5600 6000 950 95...

Re: Vtec window - mBar

My thought is I need to play around with the 3 lower RPM mBar values. If over the target it uses the low and under it uses the high, maybe raise the 850 to 900 and start there....I think that's what the help page is saying.

Re: Vtec window - mBar

"If these were set to 500 mBar then it would use the higher engagement below 500mBar (At lower load) and lower engagement above 500mBar (At higher load)."
I may be a little slow, but I can't grasp this..

Re: Vtec window - mBar

I guess my question is really just this; is it over the target mBar or under that makes the lower engagement occur? I want it to engage at WOT, not just cruising.

Vtec window - mBar

I've been trying to wrap my head around this. Low engagement is 4600, high is 5500. I have my RPM's in the VTEC window set to: 2000 3000 4300 6000 7200 Corresponding mBar: 850 850 850 600 400 Obviously my goal is to only hit low engagement at WOT. Watching mBar it seems to never peaks above 1k, but ...
