What does that have to do with VTEC? Maybe you should make your title more descriptive.

because when vtec engages i get a misfire but out only when vtec engages i would have to slow down and let the rpm drop to around two thousand rpms so i can continue driving. and when i do let the rpm drop i hear a clicking noise inside the heads near the vtec solenoid

Is this a continuation of this issue?

And this one?

Also you have a habit of starting posts and not answering questions looking at all your previous posts. You never answered a lot of the previous questions put to you.

That's what I thought. Maybe if you would answer some of the questions asked of you before you wouldn't be going on a third month of these problems.

So what are your answers to all the past questions? Before asking anymore questions, address those first.

Does the car start or not? Are you running a stock ECU or the chipped one? If stock why are you running a stock ECU with these mods? Was the Hondata stolen or not? Too many different stories here. Another post says you have major wiring issues.

My head is numb.

You don't have good reading comprehension. Why you choose NOT to answer questions is beyond me. Good luck getting it fixed.

That's gonna be one mighty big repair bill if they actually fix all your problems.

Assuming you actually have those problems, with the amount of potential help and advice you've been offered and ignored, I'm starting to think your car is fine, and you just like to complain.

That's it! Don't worry about it guys, his car's fine. If it was actually in need of fixing, he would be cooperating.

Do yu still have all of the check engine lights??

Do you still have the hondata ecu?

Now on the ticking. Have you adjusted the valves? it could also be the LMA's.

Your posts are pretty hard to read, try spacing things out. I am having to read it mulitiple times just to try and figure out what your saying.

Did you clear the ECU after cleaning the IACV?

What exactly did inline four do? What did they re-wire?

Cars can be difficult, and a Honda can be a bitch to figure out. They are either your best friend or your enemy. it may take a while to figure this out, hell, I am having issues with my car right this second.

doubt you'll get your money back from I4. but you can try.

i doubt you've done any of the things you've been told since you haven't even answered the things you were asked. get one single post calm straight story so we can find out just where exactly you are.

finally found the freakin problem bent valves. all the money i spent on rewiring the engine harness, different distributors, ecu, so many other things i could have bought a k motor set up.
