VTEC not engaging after new manifold install. HELP
i tried a search but i wasnt sure what keywords to look under!
OK i have a del sol vtec with a b16a3 stock motor in it. My old setup was Spark racing mani with sc34 turbine 38mm wastegate. not sure what info you need on why its doing this.
About 3 weeks ago the spark racing mani cracked and i ordered a inline pro mani. since then the only other thing i have changed in my enitre car was the spark plug wires. But now my VTEC does not engage or is just barely engaging. i used to be albe to hear the crossover loud as hell when the wastegate was open even by just half throtle i could hear the crossover. But now with the new mani its wither not kicking in or its very WEAK! The car doesnt have the pull it used to have in the higher RPM.
A few ?s i have.
I was tuned on hondata with my old setup. I havent retuned since the new mani. does that matter? would that affect anything?
Also when i noticed it wasnt crossing over i checked my oil and i was overfull by about 3/4 of a quart!!! could that of done anything to it. i drainded it down to normal level but it stilll didnt help.
Oh yea i have no CELs either so im not sure. anyone else expierience this?
TIA
