Icon6 B16 VTEC problem
Okay so they just fixed my engine harness which was causing a short.. so now i drive off and my vtec wont engage...yes i checked my oil and wires.. all seems okay.. now vtec feels like its engaging in almost 8K rpm... when it would engage on 5500 rpm.. so now i am confused as to what happen...anyone? know or think of anything that could be wrong?

VTEC is not engaging. . . and you have a cel. It's like having a dead body in one room, and a gun in the hallway and not checking the gun for prints.

How can he check the cel when it goes away after he restarts/turn off ignition right santacruzccs? or what do u mean by restart, when does the cel come on?

Even if the LIGHT turns off, the code is STORED.

Just CHECK and CLEAR the code!!! ( Clear as in SOLVE the issue it is pointing to.)
