turbosi1999 is an unknown quantity at this point
I figured out the check engine light code. The code pulled a code 13 (barometric sensor). In code 13 you got 3 catagories that a computer can tell you in more detail. I got a r1106 (defect sensor, a messed up line or detected some thing out of the ordinary) the other 2 codes are r1107 and r1108 ( one meanning too rich and the other too lean). These codes came from my Helmic Book. The book only tells how to treat the problem. Doesn't tell you where it is or what it looks like. It shows pictures and the ins and outs of other sensors.

Now the story is I solder all the wires including the Vafc. The check engine light stayied off longer. (thanks 2000bluesi). but It came back on and check engine light came on. The code gave the barometeric sensor code (13) diagonosised with paper clip trick . I was wondering if it has to do with tuning, air/fuel ratio, or the intake air is to hot that the atmospheric pressure is throwing the the code.

My guess is that I should just get it dynoed (at AEBS San Diego,CA) and drive moderatly (not past 4000). When I drove moderatly i didn't throw a code for a couple of days till I thought everything was fine a pushed that bad boy.

Also

I took the spark plugs out and they were dark red.

And the reason for running to rich because the vtec wire on the ecu cam out from installing the blue box. Thus running rich. Solved by soldering everything properly.
