Default please help: vtec question

would the o2 sensor effect the vtec, because my ecu is throwing a code 41 and that means that something is wrong with the o2 sensor. im thinking thats why my vtec is not kicking in. what could be the problem?

Im not 100% sure, but I had a Z6 that had a bad O2 and my vtec worked fine.
But hey, who knows, good luck

Depends which model Honda/Acura.


What model Civic do you have, this information is somewhat vital, but anyway, even with the code 41 vtec should still engage. But before you work on another problem, one might suggest getting rid of the code 41 first.
