This is all in my 1995 Honda Civic CX

Ok so on my b18c1 my gsr head had two bent valves long story short I went out bought a built b16 head with type r cams and got type r pistons and swapped everything in and got car running in 2 days and nights. well now that I have a B16 Head and manifold Vtec isnt working in my car. So does anyone know why? Am I going to need to get a b16 ecu im running the obd 1 gsr ecu this is all in my 1995 cx. it was wired previously for the swap. My knock sensor is hooked up and I ran the wire from my ecu to vtec sylenoid but im not sure if i ****ed up the wiring to it when I swapped out heads and such. so Can someone give me some advice?

Would this code make it so my car wont pop vtec? Code 9 No.1 cylinder position sensor and if so how do I fix it?

Also have these codes to.
Code 10 Intake air temperature sensor - Im in the process of fixing this one though.
Code 41 Heated oxygen sensor heater

all i can say, follow your wires, check you grounds and fuses.

I dont think the ECU will allow VTEC to work with a CEL on. Correct me if i wrong.

Nope I had a Check engine light on before with the gsr head. Still worked fine. Is there a way to bypass vtec and like hook a switch up to it?

vtec will hit with a cel but its in what most refer to "limp mode".
theres no way to bypass vtec other than using a VAFC
your wiring should all be the same with the b16 head except for the Intake air bypass
thats on the gsr manifold.

code 9 = check your timing and/or dizzy.

I will try and find another gsr dizzy for the moment and swap that in and see if I can fix it.

Will check engine lights make my **** not work right? like make it so my vtec wont engage.

as long as its not a vtec code it wont shut down vtec

See what codes your ECU is throwing off and that might help to tell you whats wrong.

Vtec only goes out on a few problems. If the primary 02 sensor is bad it will be weak, but still exist. If the vss is bad, or the #15 fuse under the dash, vtec wont pop at all. Sounds like it could be because of the 02 code.

Bullshit, code 9 will put you in to limp mode. Limp mode = no vtec. Replacing the dizzy fixed it for me when I had this code show up out of no where.
