Re: limp mode problems??
You've got a wiring problem or a sensor problem obviously. Make sure your VSS is good (speed sensor) and see if you are outputting any CELs. Does this always happen at a certain RPM, or only when you reach the vtec engagement RPM under heavy throttle? Also, have you checked your vtec and pressure switch wiring? There is a chance that something about your wiring is grounding out the vtec output when it engages, which will do some bad things, but probably not damage the ECU. The vtec output is current limited, so it should be pretected OK.. You may also have a bad vtec solenoid..

He's getting a #1 CYP, injector, and VSS CELs by the way.
I'd be surprised if it's anything but wiring, sensors usually work crappy or perfect, usually they don't alternate between the two..
