ok so i have searched and searched and cannot find any one who has had the same problems that i am having.. car is a 94 ls integra with ls/vtec turbo.. the oil to the head and the turbo are off the oil sending unit..no cel on

the problem is vtec is not working.. i have

topped off oil..

make sure your oil pick up tube screen is clean so that you have right amount of oil psi for it to work

sounds like you're not getting enough oil pressure. you shouldn't run both oil lines off the sending unit.
