Thread: VVL Switch Problems!

Yesterday while installing an activation switch from Granatelli I was pulling the RPM signal from my cluster (blue/orange wire). It worked fine but then it shorted to ground after the black tape came off.

The car now does not want to rev past 2400RPM. I have since disconnected the Granatelli switch and tried switching clusters again; but no luck. Any thoughts on what could be wrong? Is my ECM fried???

do the wire go back to the ecu? if it does that would be my guess ... for the future when going anything electrical always dis connect battery

I would have to check if it goes back to the ECU. I read the Hanes manual and got the signal of the (blue/orange) wire. The car was already running when it shorted to ground.

I have a spare JWT ECU, but its for 9.5 comp, 370cc, pop charger and turbo. If I were to plug this one up it would at least let me rev over 2300 rpm right?
Maybe then I would know if the ECU is fried!

as long as u have the rite maf it will rev..... try it..... also look if theres any fuse that went

try reseting the ecu also.....and check the maf and tps

Well while installing the switch I had the whole intake off the car and it seemed to rev just fine when I was testing the switch.



How do you reset the ECU? Wouldnt disconnecting the batt take care of that?

Also I noticed that when I step on the gas it sounds as if I had a 2-step program.

Thanks Thor,
I just double checked and had no signal from my Maf. I guess with the intake completely off the car reved fine, but now that it's bolted on it won't work if the maf is disconnected.

I hooked it back up and the car is running fine. Just one more question.
Two (-) wires come off the solenoinds one is orange and the other is greenish, wich one is the intake ,and exhaust?

orange is the intake and the green is the exhaust......this is just by looking on pics.... drove the vet today so car not near me......

^^^not my car^^^
