VEC 1 problem!? - Help!!

[Kurt 97 GTS]

My viper keeps throwing a code (no 5 volt to the map sensor) and several people have told me that the VEC 1 is suspect. Car runs very rough and the A/F meter stays pegged on the rich side then the car dies. The connections are all soldered and in good shape. One person had this problem and reset the settings to 0-0 and then ran the car for awhile before resetting to the original settings.

Has anyone else had this type of problem? BTW, this is nothing against the VEC1, as I love it and it's been on the car for several years now!!

Thanks for your help.....Kurt

Very possible. Put connectors on the wires going to the vec1 so you can place it in line or not easily. Try it both ways...you may have to reset that code a few times.

Thanks Tony! I've set the controls to 0-0 and it seems to be fine. Will wait about 50 miles then reset to my original settings.
