Bobby- I had similar issues especially with the VTEC "thud" every time it 
engaged (slight loss of power).  Answer?  Get an MSD ignition in there- it 
really pulls now especially at the high end.  Seems the stock ignition spark 
gets weaker as the rpms go higher.

Also, you'll need to experiment with the ignition timing after you do this.  I 
ended up tuning it by ear to find the sweet spot.  Now baby FLIES.  Today at 
lunch I casually punched it while in third gear and she soared up to 90 in a 
matter of a few seconds.  I feel the need... the NEED for SPEED.

> Ok, I promise I will stop bothering everyone. I appreciate everyone's help 
with the axles
and the vehicle speed sensor and the engine codes. I figured out what the 
engine light was
on for, when I wired the 4 extra sensors I pinched the Solenoid Wire causing 
VTEC not to
engage. But I have one more question, but it might be a bit of a long shot. 
The car runs
pretty good now, and I love VTEC but for some reason it seems like I am losing 
power in
3rd, 4th, and 5th gear. I ran the car in the 1/4 mile and it ran slower then 
with my stock
Si engine in it. First and Second Gear Pull very hard but it takes forever for 
the car to
wind out 3rd gear. I thought it was just because of the lack of torque but 
when I ran a
slower 1/4 mile I knew something wasnt right. I double checked, VTEC is 
ingaged during
third gear but it has no accleration.I have a Y1 tranny but it is such a oain 
because of
the short gearing. Has anyone experienced ths problem or has any idea what I 
should look
for. Fue!
>  l Pressure looks fine but the gauge is under the hood so im not sure what 
it's doing
during driving. Maybe someone can give me some advice. Thanks in advance!
