no cel light and diagnosis plug wont read
I just bought a car and it has a few problems. Vtec will not engage and smokes when its in the high rpms only. Its a jdm B16a. Also has a fluctuating idle sometimes. So i went to Advance and tried to see if i had any codes throwing and the scanner couldnt read anything. I've also notice that the check engine light doesn't even come on when the key is on. so i checked to see if it had a bulb or if it was burnt out. It had a bulb and the bulb was good cause i switched out with the oil light one and it worked. So what could be the problem?

Did you check that the CEL actually works? I'm not talking about the bulb.
Did you read the thread at the link provided to you in post #14?
