alright so i was goin today down that roaD and my friend was like. kick it in vtec (he had never ridden before) and so i start to roll in third. im at prolly 6000 and no vtec. i hit 6300 and say to hell with it and shifted. never tried getting it back up. my plugs to vtec are all on and everything. i dunno wat the expletive is going on. and i also wondered about my engine getting so hot that it melts the part of my wire that goes down in the head. it honestly melted that little rubber boot at the end of the wire that klicks on the plugs... my coolant was ok. and i just filled my oil... any help would be greatly appraecaited

Are you being serious?

Sometimes wires look like they are connected together but the pins inside arent connecting with each other so I suggest double checking your wires, also your car has to be a certain temperature for Vtec to kick in or your oil pressure might be low.

you have a sohc you cant hear vtec.

In a single stick you can barely hear it and can't feel it.

throwing any CELs? if a wire is disconnected it should.

my mini me setup on a 91 si block with a 95 si head.. you could hear vtec really loud, we were all surprized

Check oil life, and was it at operating temp? Also, it is possible you were in VTEC, you just didn't know it.

Ahhhh, Love it. Word. I wish my trans-am had v-tec.... Cuz you know I could feel it in there! Lol jk.

SoHc94

alright well i found out both problems. my vss had antifreeze in the plug so it couldnt have a good connection. so i took it off and cleaned it up and now it works. secondly. i figured out why my engine was getting so hot. apparently my thermostat valve thing. wasnt opening but a third of the way. so it could never cool the engine enough. but after io turn my engine off is it normal to hear a gurgle from my radiator? (the radiator is brand new)... and techincally u can feel it in v-tec. wether its a lot or not. the rpms jump a tiny bit and it feels different. and if yur looking for it u can definatley feel it. my vss was broken and vtec will only engage if yur vehicle is going over 10mph. so since the vss was messed up it didnt engage. so expletive all those people who dont think u can feel it in a sohc. cuz u ****** notice it. wether its a little or a lot u will notice it.

Well. waht you're noticing is probably a lack of power due to your thermostat failing to do it's job or your radiator. You feel it because of any pull and those "exciting" high rpms.
