i have a 1998 gsr my v-tech does not kick in, in 1st or 2nd gear but third and 4th it kicks in a little bit. just looking for a solution to my problem.

 

Are you sure you just can't feel it? If its not engaging you either have a wiring problem or something in your vtec oil system/ soli.

Oh and BTW (vtec)!!! V-tech is a phone, you'll get flamed for that

 

Check your oil level, insufficient oil pressure will keep the vtec from engaging.

 

yeah check your oil level

 

No engine light????

 

make sure car is warmed up to normal operating temp.


*pic of phone here*

 

oil pressure/opening thermostat = vtec

dont try it on a cold car

 

definately your oil or your secondarys not opening

 

VTEC would still engage if your secondaries didn't open. In fact, VTEC in a GSR ALWAYS engages before the secondaries open. You really aren't supposed to feel the crossover, although it usually can be heard because the larger cam profiles suddenly are pulling in a lot more air and expelling more gasses.

Also, V-Tech is a phone, and there is no such thing as V-TEC. VTEC is Variable Valve Timing and Lift Electronic Control. It is just oil pressure regulating whether or not the middle lobe of the camshaft is used. The crossover from gas-saving mode to gas saving mode with a little kick shouldn't be felt. That means that your oil pressure is bad (too low I believe). The effects can be felt because you will be in your powerband and will be accelerating a little quicker.

Thanks for the useful info.

If your car is stock or fairly close to stock it isnt going to be very noticeable. I really didnt notice a whole lot until I/H/E where installed.
