You should read the code instead of resetting the ECU every time.

What you're doing is ignorantly and temporarily fixing a problem.

ghettoSi

lol ya you should probably check the code

ARMED

heheh...damn, i knew i was gonna get that answer, i guess...i need to do that...thanks tho...i just thought someone here had the same problem

sauceja

20 bucks on code 22 just because that has been going around lately. Especially on swaps.

ARMED

22 is for

92-98 Civic
93-98 Prelude
94+ Integra

VTEC Oil Pressure Switch defective circuit or unplugged / defective oil pressure switch
* invalid code for non-VTEC engine

i got a 99 civic ex car..with a 99 Si tranny...

ARMED

How? How do you have a 99 ex with a 99 Si tranny?

WTF mate.

Get the CEL on, park it with the engine running, and check the code. Do the paper clip trick.

Didn't you already determine it was a code 22?

ARMED

no, never got the codes, i guess ill try it running, never tried it running...

yes it is a 99 EX with a b16 tranny....


my speedometer doesnt work right now, im thinking its the speed sensor making that CEL turns on...

Libertariat

so you did a B2d?

What's the sense in that, is it a built or boosted d?

What's wrong with an ex tranny?

jumai182

He mentioned he had a b20/vtec swap with a b16 tranny.

ARMED

thank you...

i guess ill start changing my speed sensor first, it might be it....
