- No VTEC
- Oil leakage
- Throwing Code
- VTEC engagement probems/ in and out of VTEC

more then likely its not going "bad" but possibly u have a bad seal casuing loss of pressure or oil?

 

yeah im having vtec engagement problems about how much do they cost and are the difficult to install

 

very easy to install and very expensive

 

Try taking it off the head, take it apart and clean it. Do a search on vtec solenoid.

and change your 2 spool filters, they're like $20 each. do it during an oil change.

 

r u thrownig a code??? if u are in the early 20s for blinks on your ecu or dash check engine light try cleaning it 1st. Its 3 bolts ..... unplug it ..... spray out the silinoid w/ carb cleaner or brake parts cleaner well.... let stand for a minute then plug bolt and play.. unplug your battery and restart car should work.....

 

my car was acting up a while back, i used carb cleaner to clen it out and it has been working since.
