check your oil level, it wont engage if theres not enough oil.

are you letting the car warm up enough?

its VTEC btw, but its all kool...

egman78

yeah my "vtech" stopped working a couple months back... I got it last year for christams, blue... my stepdad said I just need to change the battery since batterys in cordless phones die even though they are re-chargable...

I AM VERY PROUD TO BE THE SECOND TO INFORM YOU THAT VTECH MY FRIEND IS A PHONE......I AM NOT SURE IF HONDA WILL EVER USE THIS TECHNOLOGY ON THEIR CARS BECAUSE THERE IS NO NEED FOR YOUR HONDA TO ALSO BE USED AS A CORDLESS TELEPHONE........

I THINK WHAT YOU MEAN IS VTEC.........

check the vtec solinoid and the wiring........

egman78

haha sorry

vtec
is it on the ecu? i didn't do the wiring

Was the engine warm? Your ecu will not let the vtec engage unless the car is up to temp (as well as enough oil).

The clanging could just be a loose heat sheild.

egman78

where is the vtec solenoid?

i didn't do the wiring

Could be an ignitor or distributor problem, if by "clogging" you mean "bogging." Does the car suddenly slow down, and feel like it won't rev any further?

egman78

yes!!!!!!!!!!!!

what do i do?

It sounds very familiar, I had the same problem a few times. The ignitor inside the distributor sometimes goes bad on Hondas, and causes the car to severely bog, or stop accellerating well before the redline. Sometimes it can cause problems with starting as well. Replace that ignitor, or swap distributors with someone to see if that solves the problem.
