Ok Set the VAFC up to monitor VTEC enagaement. Noticed that every once in a while VTEC does not even engage. And that is one of my cel. i think the other at low rpm is just running super rich. Could my vtec soleniod be going out. Also Anyone know a good place for dyno tuning. Need to get this thing fine tuned after adding all this stuff. A good shop to go to and how much they charge if possible

as soon as they get the trans out i am gonna pick it up and head over. Kinda pointless to drive it over there and add it to your growing lot when i don't have the part to fix it

Did you install the VAFC and the Skunk2 Chip at the same time? There could be a conflict between the two and that could cause your CEL to come on. Have you tried Zeroing all of your VAFC settings yet? You might want to check out http://www.d-series.org as well, tons of very knowledgeable people on there.

No Problem If you zero all of your VAFC settings and you still get a CEL try disabling your chip. There is a jumper in your ECU you can cut, J1 I believe but i need to confirm that. If you cut it your Skunk2 chip will no longer work but you might lose the CEL. After you cut it, you can try using your VAFC again. If i had to put money on one of the them I would say that your skunk2 chip screwing up the whole works. Also, if you still get a CEL for your VTEC then you could have a bad selenoid. Hope that helps.
