ouch. they are about $50+shipping online or im sure you might be able to track down one at the junkyard. single cams use the same switch so im sure you can find an older civic at the yard.

I used gasket sealer stuff to kind of glue it back together and it worked lol give it a try. Or work some JB weld magic.

Re: VTEC Pressure Switch Broken- What to do?
thanks for the quick responses guys. I've already fixed it though...I took out the green half of the plug that broke, jumped the two pins inside, and plugged it back into the grey half so the jumper is secure. VTEC engages as normal every time again.
lesson learned: free the arc length the wrench must travel through of plugs, wires, etc BEFORE rotating the wrench. haha.
