How did you get your cordless phone wired to a blue light in your dash? And how to you get a phone to kick in?


On a serious note, OP....You need to be a bit more specific and try to use some grammar. I have no idea what is wrong with your car, or what you are trying to do to your car lol.

Frosted flakes has a rival mascot now.

Well, To put in a new transmission, as far as im concerned the VTEC solonoid does not need to be unplugged, only the wiring grounds for the harness that are connected on the transmission.
So if VTEC is disconnected, then its a simple matter of just plugging it back in, the plugs match up, they arent too hard to figure out.

People on here also need to understand that its not just us in the United states using honda-tech, people from all over use it as well. So be patient if someone's english isnt very precise.

the "precision" of his English is not in question, rather the sweet blue light he has hooked up to let him know to brace himself cause V-Tech is kicking in!!!

dear god people, this man can be killed if V-tech catches him by surprise!!!

someone help him!

That would be the CEL that goes off if your VTEC solenoid isn't plugged in. The ECU doesn't realize it until it tries to activate VTEC.

What's this "VTECH" I keep hearing about? Is that some new form of VTEC like i-VTEC?

On my engine it say VTEC Honda, but the problem is i really cant find the solonoid, and the little wire i talked about earlier is for, probably, an after market VTEC light in my dash, its a used car aftera ll and the guy that had it before me didnt know how to tune up a honda. anyways thanks for the help.

Cap off that stray wire. You don't want it to ground.

Yeah its vtec accualy, its just the wire for the dashlight that need to be wired again, and i found the solonoid was looking for something way bigger than this lol.
Just need to change a couple thingsin the motor, like a new manifold anyone know what kind of manifold i should buy?
