Default I hit VTAK it sputters.

Well guys I recently replaced my vtec soleniod because the other one didn't work, well when I first took it for a spinn I had regualr in it and it thru check engine light at me and knocked but I turned it off turned it back on and it went away so I went and filled up with premium. Well today me and my fat friend mark were driving and I hit the mad VTAK and when we came to the light my car was sputtering and running really really rich.

I have a adjustible cam gear a mild cam i/h/e and some other things done to it. What could be the problem you think my timing is off?

Is your check engine light on ?
If so, check your codes.

the code should be stored, but if it was an intermittent failure i would just check the code so you can plan ahead for a possible future problem

Tuning costs so much unless some one wants to barter for it.

The codes havent come back and I hope they don't problem with getting it tuned is it costs money I don't have unless some one can help me out and I could bring some ribs over and just make it a little tune Pauls car meet, or I could have one here but I don't have no monez for a tune, if I get it tuned wont I get better gas milage and more power depending?
