No Vtec
the dizzy went out on my gsr a couple weeks ago i got a new one last night and now my car doesnt hit vtec anymore. i know the dizzy isnt the problem but i cant figure it out ive got good oil pressure and my car has always hit vtec ever since i did the swap last october now for some strange reason nothing. whats the best way to diagnose

I think the obvious thing to do would be to double and triple check that you installed the dizzy correctly? Was vtec engaging before you switched out the dizzy? Do you have any CEL'S?

also i pulled my stock intake off and there is oil in my throttle body and intake tube. what would of caused this. is there a seal i could have blown or something. maybe causing my to have low oil pressure.

Your vtec solenoid is right next to your dizzy. Is it possilbe you could have knocked something loose inadvertantly? Also, are you getting any CELS?

That's what I'm thinking too. I'm willing to bet the code is vtec solenoid. Having those codes would really help

Re: (ABK)
im fairly certain that i never touched the vtec solenoid cuz this is the 3rd dizzy ive burnt up so i can swap them about as fast as i can roll a blunt.

Re: (92B20GSR)
since today is 4/20 and you obviously like to roll blunts you shouldn't attemp fixing your vtec today. Double check the vtec oil pressure, and selonoid wires It's really easy to rip them.

Re: (rxse7n)
Did you time the ingnition after replacing the Dizzy? Check the connections on the dizzy too. I think that top dead sensor has something to do with engaging of vtec but I'm not sure. Also the vtec oil pressure sensor is right by the selonoid with two wires coming out of one goes to the ground second goes to the ECU.

People say it's part #4 so you will basicly have to take your old distributor housing (part #4) and swap all the parts to it from the new one. I guess the sensor is in the housing. Did you try doing ignitions timing?
