WHATS UP,

HERE'S MY PROBLEM: I JUST RECENTLY SWAPPED A USDM B16A FROM A 95 DEL SOL VTEC INTO MY 94 HONDA CIVIC EX(THE DEL SOL WAS MINE AND I DID THE SWAP SO EVERYTHING'S LEGIT). WHEN IM DRIVING THERE IS NO VTEC AND THE CAR REDLINES(FUEL CUT OFF) AT AROUND 7OOORPMS. IT SEEMS TO BE STUCK IN COLD START MODE. I'M THINKING THE CAUSE COULD BE THE THERMOSTAT(ORIGINAL) OR THE VTEC CONTROLLER BECAUSE I REPLACED IT WITH A USED ONE RECENTLY. WHAT ELSE COULD CAUSE THIS? PLEASE HELP. MUCH APPRECIATED.

I don't know the actual cause of the problem, but I know that the thermostat wouldn't be the cause unless you never get up to N.O.T. Before I replaced my thermostat, it took a while to get there, but once I did, everything worked fine.

try removing the vtec controller so you have stock wiring and see if it works.

good advice.

do you have a CEL? (check engine light)

mintscorpion

there is no check engine light.

v4lu3s

have you removed the vtec controller and restored factory wiring yet?

yeah it definitly sounds like a vtec controller problem.
