Check engine light
Ok, I have a 97 EX Civic, D16y8 and a P2P ECU. Today I installed a Apexi VAFC, programmed everything according to the manual. I didn't mess with fuel curve or anything drastic. Tonight I'm driving and go from 1st to 2nd gear fine at around 6k rpm in 2nd the car feels like I hit the rev limiter which is past 7k rpms. As soon as that happened my check engine light came on. Any ideas what I may have done? or didn't do for that matter. Thanks in advance for any help or advice.

Re: Check engine light
Ok took car to advanced, got them to see what check engine light meant. She said it was a mapping sensor issue. Possibly a bad mapping sensor. I went home, and rewired the VAFC, cranked it up and tada no more check engine light. Prob had a bad connection or something. Thank you all for responding. I'm new to the whole honda thing, just bought this one in January so I don't know much about it but I'm learning. Thanks again

then it's probably a real code and your O2 is bad. *gasp* Enjoy.
