so i was snooping around the engine bay a little in an attempt to locate the v-tec. i found it and when i did i noticed that there was no wire going to it. ie it is not hooked up to work.

so my question is: "where do i find one of the v-tect wire? and how much do they cost?"

thanks

Your vtec solenoid should actually have two wires, one for the solenoid and one for the pressure switch, but it would/should pull a CEL if it wasn't connected. What kind of car/motor combination are you talking about? R u sure it's a vtec ECU in your car?

it is a 1994 dx with a jdm d15b. how do i know if it is a vtec ecu? i know nothing about these cars, i am a subaru guy. i am really ttrying to just fix this car to drive for a while then ultimately sell it. but i dont want to sell it with a vtecmotor and not have it work.

hope this helps

awdriver

thanks. when i get home from work i will try to find out what ecu i have in it. i have a sneaking suspicion that it is not a vtec ecu.

thanks for the info.

also does it cause a problem if it is a vtec motor and a non-vtec ecu?

It causes the obvious problem of VTEC not working, but it won't do damage to the engine if that's what you're asking.

awdriver

ok. thats good to know. like i said i dont want to sell this with a bad motor.

awdriver

if i do indeed have a vtec ecu, do i just need to get the wires for it and just plug and play? or ido i have to splice things together?

more or less "pin-splice" and play lol. You will have to splice into the pressure switch and pin the ecu. It's simple no worries lol, Just hit up you local radio shack
