vics not working

[dragsterdave]

As the title said my vics isn't working, I think the vics is open. The rode is all the way out all the time, the white and red wire has 12v to it. If I hit the black/red wire with my test light the solenoid will click and the vics will close. So if I understand right the ecm controls the ground to the vics and at a rpm it grounds it to close to solenoid . So my signal wire from the solenoid to ecm tests good , I've got power to the solenoid , the solenoid works . So what do you guys think I should test next ? If I'm not right on how this works please tell me,anymore info would be great.

Ok I found out whats all going on, I had the cid wire and the vics wire swapped around . All those 4ths got me in the wiring guide , but oh well I should of looked at the wiring better. So after I swapped the wires around the car wouldn't start, then messing around I found out that my harness is the problem. If I move the wires at the ecm the car will turn off , but will start up every time. So if you guys pull a harness from a car at the junkyard look it over really well when your done. Other wise you might have all the problems I've had. So my car is running no check engine light and vics is working.

VICS is a monster when the secondaries open. Mine would start to pull then vics would hit and the tires would break traction in 3rd gear lmao!

I'm thinking of ways to control it with b6t electronics. Either an rpm switch and vac solenoid or maybe a manual boost controller type of setup that'll open it under boost.
