what ecu are you running?
check ground on the pressure switch, make sure its good. (black wire)
check continuity to ecu from the psi switch.
and check continuity from ecu to soleniod.

throw that ecu in the trash...
you need a p30 or p28 with jumper.....
then try it. it might still come on. and if its imedately then there is a wiring problem down the line.
if you run a gsr ecu its going to run shitty and is going to throw codes for the intake bs. you got my number, feel free to call........so i take you got the dizzy figured out?

ya no prob.......your ecu must have been re-mapped, but if its working with no secondary codes your good to go......
If your still getting the check light or vtec isnt working.....lmk
good job on the dizzy, you have just learned somthing new!
