Does any one have a phone number for API Performance in AZ? Im looking to buy a harness and computer but the web site doesn't have any phone numbers?

Need to give the A10"s some live practice time on ass holes like this

wow must have been hot out there, we drove thru Baker on or way to the Corral Pink Sand Dunes in Utah, and it was pretty

 warm in the morning.

If you spend much time out at Dumont you WILL be in some wind storms, like dunefreak said, honker down in your RV have some beverages and wait it out, once they are over the sand is as smooth as it can be. Ive been thru some wild rides at camp but it always seems to *blow over* then you get to make some new tracks.

  OK  so the blue wire going into "D10" is the speed sensor, and they tapped into C20 the top dead center sensor that pulses, the VSS looks for a pulse so I added this wire but it didnt seem to change any thing, I need to go out and drive it now and see, hard to tell sitting in the shop.                                           

Neal, the ECU was looking for a VSS signal, and it was picked up off of the #1 TDC sensor

DDR Thank you for all of your help, its fixed!!!!!!, after I took it out for the first test run Wednesday evening It ran much better but after one pass my fuel cell cracked, after 2 days of messing with that finally got it sealed only to have my fans start drawing more amps than normal and popping fuses, after the clean up I finally got get out and get some dunning in and it was like a whole new engine, Cody thanks for sharing the pictures of your harness, it was the missing link I needed.

You need to know the total weight and corner weight per wheel to determine spring weight as a starter, do you access to race scales?

Thanks Hawaiian, those pictures will help allot, I dont have any wires on D but I will now and I have more than 2 on A, I can look up the pin out from those pictures and go from there, thank you for taking the time for me and sharing this. you rock!!!!

Thanks every one, I know ill figure it out, the car still runs pretty good and its a blast to drive. You guys that are running a 3.2 or 3.5 OBD2, do you have any thing plugged in to slot D on the ECU, this is mostly transmission imputs/outputs ? currently I do not have any thing in that port and Im still leaning towards to ECU thinks the car is in neutral or park and limiting RPM's Looking at API"s web site, the picture they show for there  set up is using this port, I have played around with it but no Joy...

My group will be there

Well sh"t, went thru the ecu wiring again and didnt find any thing I might be missing, ran the engine up to the rpms it starts cutting out and manually engaged the vtec solenoid and heard a change in the engine but no extra rpms, I'm wondering if the valve springs are just shot and floating??? O well a slow and mellow trip is better than no trip at all, see you all next weekend

thanks Neal, I even bought a different ECU off Ebay, learned how to remove the immobilizer and it does the same thing, I'm stumped as well but not giving up yet, I just don't have the spare funds to buy a ECU and harness rite now, especially with the season winding down.

Neal mentioned the crank sensor as well, but Im not seeing any codes for it,  Ive only been watching the tach not the scan tool while its hitting the limit, that's easy enough to check, I will also OHM out the VTEC solenoid and re check the ECU wiring for it. Just a thought, I noticed that the VTEC solenoid had its own pressure switch and a second switch that appeared to only run the oil pressure on the factory dash , I replaced that one for my oil pressure gauge, could the ECU be looking for both oil pressure inputs? 

your input is helping me eliminate possible issues, mine is not turbo'd and OBD2, so that should eliminate the ECU, Ill mess with the VTEC solenoid, Neal was telling me his wouldn't rev over 3500 when his solenoid was bad,mine hits 4800-5000 and acts like its on a chip, my harness is a wet mess so it could be an issue there. some where to dig deeper into. Heading to Dumont next Wednesday so I hope I can figure something out soon,, I love the way it dunes, just lacking on top end. Thanks DuneFreak

I've been running this setup for a couple years,(runs fine fr normal dunning) thinking it just didn't have the fun factor that my turbo VW had, then spent some time chatting with Neal Rideout and seen how well his runs stock made me dig into it. Are you running a OBD1 or OBD2 ecu?

I'm getting a couple trans codes po753, p1753, and p1298 that's a voltage code, I'm trying to figure out if the ECU isn't seeing a gear other than neutral or park does it limit RPMs ? or also becuase there is no VSS signal would that limit the rpms? I've been messing with it but have yet to find the missing link.

can any one running a 3.2l or 3.5l vtec motor tell me what ECU you are running? My car is running a 3.2l but it wont rev up over 4800 rpms, Im not sure if there is an ecu problem or some thing in my harness. This is a stock ecu and harness that I wired up. I dont have the funds rite now to go out and buy one already done so Im trying to figure it out on my own, thanks for any info/advice you might share with me

Wednesday to Tuesday 

Im out here now, the dunes are rutted out bad, still very wet

This is my home made project, lot of fun to build and dune...

As a 5 link travels, the wheels actually move in and out of the center line of the the car as they travel from droop to compression, heims allow the arms

to move up/down and in/out through out the travel cycle. Bushings only allow one degree of rotation,

We will be there Sunday or Monday staying until the following Monday, camping rite above the pay station on the bluff, looking forward to seeing every one out there
