my vtec is not working
Hey guys please help a playa out. I now have a check engine light and my vtec will not engage. My motor is revving at 2000 rpm's and am not sure of the problem. What should i check out or clean for this matter. Its bugging the heck outta me i had my car in the shop they could not figure out the problem at all so please help. Could it be my ecu is blown or my whole vtec steup what is it? Also my motor idles at 2000rpm's so if this helps in a little diagnoses please let me know

Re: (simplyrob)
my car throws nonsense codes out all the time, usually related to intake issues. It runs fine though, so i don't worry about it. Open you fuse box(near battery) and pull out the 7.5 Amp fuse on the top of the fuse box. Let this out for about 15-30 seconds, then plug it back in. When the CEL comes on on OBD2 cars they go into limp-mode which only runs at 80% efficiency. If the CEL comes back on, get it to autozone. They will check the code for free.

Re: (_Bug_)
The reason it sounds like VTEC isn't engaging is b/c his car's in limp mode.
You said it only rev's to 2000k?
If it's in limp mode, VTEC won't engage, it doesn't have anything to do with VTEC directly if it's in limp mode...
You g2 figure out why it's in limp mode..

I just toook out my ctr ecu bought a jumper harness and picked up a p30 it now idles fine and bbbaahhhhh----- vtec--------- is hittin hard @ 5500
But there is still a check engine light so i guess its time to get the codes and figure out why thats on.
