Pull the code and fix it. Don't erase it.

Yes, fix it before you go about resetting anything.

once i get the code and i find out what cel it is does that mean i need to replace those parts?

SOHC4life 96

Not always. Find out what the code is and then come back and we can help you better from there.

pdiggitydogg

Not necessarily replace...but fix.
Sometimes you just have something that needs adjusting...other times you replace ****.
Find out what it is before jumping the gun

it means that that is the problem that needs to be fixed...not necessarily broken parts...some cars give codes for running too lean/rich etc etc....just get it scanned, KEEP THE CODE, fix the problem, clear the code.......

why waste time getting the thing scanned when anyone can do it at home in their driveway????

Check you oil level.

thats it and then its fixed?

now how do i turn the light off

7k @ 4th gear on the freeway? Where you racing? tsk tsk.

Anyway main reason 22 comes up is because your low on oil pressure so your VTEC will kill off. Also i believe you visit limp land, fun times.

Check your oil level and then reset the code, if it comes back and alls good then clean the solienod out. If still nothing then theres more walk throughs to go through but i doubt it would go that far.

disconnet the negative on the battery for 30 secs and it resets and no more cel.

There are 3 or something bolts on the VTEC silenoid. It's on the back left of the valve cover. Unplug it and take those bolts out. Some oil will come out even if the engine is cold. Anways, get some brake cleaner and spray the **** out of it. Then make sure that ALLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL of the brake cleaner is out. The little screen should be clean now. Put it back on, and your done.

how soon do i have to do that its like midnight and i have work early in the morning

If your oil level was find or you fixed it, then just reset the ECU and you'll be fine. Cleaning the silenoid is just an extra mile you can go to make it better.
