So I just tried the APP relearn and nothing.... here is another peice of info that can be useful... if the car is in neutral and just idling, it won't even go to 2500 half the time, if I try to rev it , it will bog and kinda sputter (doesn't cut off).. only when I'm driving it will act normal but don't rev past 2500... if I keep the acc pedal floored it won't even go to 2500, it will try and then bog down to like 500 rpms and sputter its way back up and maybe rev about a couple hundred rpms above idle and bog again

Unhook the vafc. Run the wires back to stock and see what happens.

Well if the ECU pigtail hasn't been molested yet, pull back the insulation for the MAF wiring and check to make sure all of that is still intact.

Couldn't I just disconnect the middle connector between the VAFC and ECU??, (or is there even a middle connection?

ok, now I'm confused, is your vafc wired in to the car currently or not?

alright. If your VAFC is wired up correctly, there should be a yellow wire and a white wire coming from the vafc harness that is intercepting the MAF wires. Disconnect these and connect the MAF wires back to stock.

This is just to rule out (or in) that the vafc itself is the problem.

Took a break from the car yesterday, I can see myself going crazy over this stupid issue, I didn't even look at the VAFC setings or anything, hopefully its something as dumb as the maf settings in there (however that changed) ill ry to browse the issue today n tomorrow, I just needed a break, went back to catchin the bus n all

o.k so i got an ohm meter... i am about to attempt messing witht the TPS signal... my question here is, how and what numbers do i look for with this... lemme see if i even got this straight on how to do it

with the MM, put the red pin to the signal wire (blue iirc)
black pin so a safe ground on the car (tranny for all i care)

i should be getting what reading at idle and what reading at WOT? or do i just adjust for one and the ECU does the rest???... oh another question... what screw do i mess wit to adjust???

1.x v @ idle, 4.x v @ WOT for TPS. I wouldn't mess with any stop screws or anything.

You can't, if it's wrong that means either the APPS or TPS is bad.

Yeah the accelerator pedal stop. There was a recall on it for some models because it was causing the pedal to go too far and then the voltage would deviate from the throttle plate and throw the car into fail safe.


Considering that they were in that area, they might have bumped it or something.

I think you missed the point, obviously your car wasn't on the reacll list because before the swap it was fine. I think maybe they bumped it when isntalling your clutch pedal. Something to look into.

It be nice if you had an OBDII logger so you can compare the TPS and APPS voltages.

Yeah, you can watch the voltage and compare them. That's how I pinpointed my problem when I threw in the WB and SAFCII. I ended up needing extra grounds on the ECU body because the TPS would get a small spike and then the car would go into limp mode.

Go in and take a look at the gas pedal and see if it looks weird.

It already has a couple ground screws, I just added some more ground wires and a couple of more screws. I think sparks did the same thing.

believe it or not.. i actually had that problem when i very 1st bought my car... driving then all the sudden no throttle... pulled over turn the car off and then back on and it worked fine... also happened with me n my moms in the car, after that time it somehow never happened again... but would that be the reason for my issue now or can that same problem cause what im going through now?

now its not revving past 2500... but it doesnt even rev smoothly to 2500 then limits, if im at idle and press the gas pedal it wil sometime immediately bog down to maybe 500 rpms... its really random, it will bog down and sputter all over to throug the rpm, if it sits for long i can get it to rev to a 3k max just once n if i even try to keep it there it will bog down and sputter

ive tried unplugging the MAF (grey connector)... in all honesty it seems as though the revs to 2500 was cleaner with the MAF unplugged
