Default No Vtec.. has my solenoid gone bad on my H22???

Nothing happens when 12volts applied to solenoid. I noticed that I dont feel vtec kick in so I decided to check the solenoid at Idle. When I powered it up there was was no change ( normaly the engine would bog and die). Do vtec solenoids go bad or could it be something else?

it may not be the solenoid.
Check if you're oil level is at the right point.
Or you may have the same problem I had.
If your speed censor doesn't work then your vtec wont engage.
Hope this will help

take it off and clean it first. But if it doesnt activate after giving power to it, then its likely the culprit.

best thing to do is take i off of the motor and test it on a bench. that way you can be sure your giving it 12v and ground
