Hey,

I have a 00 Gs-r with 39000 miles and it hasent had the valves adjusted yet, it has the little tapping noise from the motor and i assume that means time for a tune up, but not my vtec doesnt kick in, could this be a result of the vavles being messed up? also, my shop said i need a cap and rotor also, this sound right? Thanks

check your oil level, let the car warm up, and lastly..Floor it.

 

Just changed the oild today, it is still messed up, any ideas?

 

make sure the wire to the vtec solonoid is not frayed or damaged and check all fuses and once again FLOOR IT. hehe

if your vtec is not engaging, it should trigger a CEL.

 

2000 GS-R with 39,000 miles? wow. That's alot. I only have 3,700 miles on it. I barely drive my GS-R. Its my weekend car. I drive my Nissan Truck mostly...

Check the wires and get your adjustments done. It should be ok...

 

2000 with 39K...wait, my 2000 has 26K

 

I hope you have done an oil change in that 39,000 miles.That is also alot of miles,i have a 99 GSR and it is just about to hit 30,000

 

That's not true. I had a problem with my vtec not engaging a while back and I never got a CEL.

 

my 97 just rolled 111,200 miles this morning on my 30 mile one-way commute to work! bought the car with 40,309 in june of 99!

 

my 2000 just hit 47k.

 

geez you are some drivin mafaka's I got a 95 gsr with 64,xxx on it right now.. was my daily driver but i moved into a apt 1 block away from work so i could sleep in everymorning.. but before that I had to drive 80 miles each way to work oh well i drive when I can I love my leather :D

 

SOmetimes when I would change the oil in my 94 GSR the VTEC would not engage all the time for a day or two, then it would go back to normal of working perfectly. Just drive it around normally for a bit. Don't know why this happens, but just letting you know happens to others too.

 

my vtec didnt work so i bought a new head. there was something inside the head blocking the oil passages, causing it not to engage.

 

the mechanic was talkin about the distributor cap and rotor... cost for both is around 30 buxs at the dealership...

you can also take off the vtec solinoid and check the metal screen behind it.. if this is plugged up with junk.. then yes clean it out and thas probably why ur shiet wasnt workin.

also when did it stop workin, is ur car stock and u just cant feel it, do u know what RPM's the vtec and the secondary butterflys open up at, and is ur car idling high all the time meaning above 1000 rpms....ur car may be stuck in limp mode.. meaning no vtec.........

 

hehe i have a 94 with 58250 miles...

ummm yah GO FLOOR IT.. i dunno...

 

my 97 has 41k!!!

 

Vtec works on oil presure so check and see if there's oil, secondly check and see if the oil presure sensor is working.
