Re: VTEC TROUBLE!!! Please HELP (doood)

if its been tuned and you are running a turbo, AND THE TURBO IS SPOOLED UP, you shouldn't notice the v-tec.

Re: VTEC TROUBLE!!! Please HELP (big_turbo_b16)
its that solenoid next to the distributor...
between the distributor and the valve cover
its a round thingy in there about 1.5 tall...
some **** like that...
and how do you know its not engaging???
are you listening to it...when that RPM hits???
you should have a vtec point...fint out what RPM your vtec kicks in...
then from there...drive it again...watch your RPM and listen closely...
when it hits the vtec point...maybe your vtec kicks in late...and maybe your not reaching the right RPM for it to hit....
let us know thats up
