hey my vtec doesnt seem to be working all the way, any suggestions?

 

please explain..

 

ok well you know how a gsr vtec works right?, it kicks in a little bit at first then it screams well i dont think it screams any more i cant really tell because i live in new england and its been raining for like 2 weaks

 

Uhm, your not really good at this car thing are you?

 

check your solenoids, or maybe you have a bad injector..

is your CEL light on?

are you letting your car warm up to normal temp before smashing on it?

 

check your oil.....if you are running low, it will not alow your vtec to work properly

 

any cel's???

 

no check engine light.

 

check your oil level...also check your VTEC pressure switch. how? disconnect the connector from the pressure switch (green plug thats connected to the solenoid attached at the end of your camshaft)

 

ohh and reset ur ecu, let her warm up and try it out

also vtec solenoid screen could be clogged - somehow - maybe cus its been rainin with vtak enguaged?

 

yea disconnect the battery for like a minute....like 1337 said as well, check vtec selenoid screen

 

its probably workin fine..what year is it

 

94 it did work when i bought it a few months ago but now it doesnt seem to be working right.

 

ok well, does the car actually fall out of vtec?? or does it not feel as strong or something.

 

or did someone swap a LS motor into your car without you knowing about it?

 

if you're not blowing a CEL, it's likely you have low oil levels - causing a loss in oil pressure - to which vtec will not engage. If the engine is not up to normal operating temperature you will be vtec-less.

good luck

 

i have plenty of oil

its probably your IAB. vtec kicks in first and then the IAB. its your IAB that screams, not vtec. so check to see if the plug is bad or something and it wont pull a CEL as well. so if you do feel vtec @ the early rpms, then vtec works
