I am still staying with a "latent" vtec crossover.

Mechanically the valves have not all gone on to the middle lobe as fast as they should (because of mechanical blockage) but the fuel and ignition tables have already changed to the high cam. So effectively your mechanically on the low cam while electronically the computer thinks your on the high cam and will add fuel and timing relative to your calibration.

Another reason I dont like how Honda/Hondata does this multi stage fuel/ig table, AEM and most others use one fuel and one ignition that is easy to see, so if you have a drastic fuel enrichment you can see it easier in a 2d or 3d plot as opposed to looking at either a log or going back and forth between two tables in Hondata.

Good Luck.

Tested that, when jumping the vtec solenoid at around 5k it read about 50psi of pressure. </TD></TR></TABLE>
50psi at 5k seems a bit low. i think the service manual says 50psi is the service limit. i usally see 75-80psi

 

I've had trouble where there were electrical interferences. Try adding grounds to the head and transmission. There were times we did that and it would pull through.

 

Turns out it was a motor issue. Already chewing up mains again and just didn't have enough oil pressure to lock it into vtec. Thanks tricura for letting me borrow a motor for this weekend

 

Ouch.... sorry to hear.

what was the issue with the motor? why did it chew up the mains?

 

getting water in the lower end?

I had this same problem A LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG time ago when I had a SOHC, check the screen on the vtec solenoid. If there were still shavings in the head it could be clogged. Just a thought.
