wont come on because of the temp light... along with knock, low oil and if its not warm... also a few other things... if u get that light to turn off and Vtec still isn't kicking.... take the solenoid off and disassemble it and make sure the screen is clean and theres no oil build up anywere. if there is oil build up... the you need to learn how to change more oil often!

What was the problem with the sensor? Wiring? Because like I said, I'm having the same problem. Replaced all 3 of the temp sensors and the damn light is still on.

Nope, because I still have that damn light.
I don't want to drive it too much because the motor's built and needs a serious tune done to it along with welding up the damn downpipe for the turbo. Stupid car is a project that's just begging to get worked on.
Somewhere I just lost the will to mess with it though.

Yeah I need to. Especially since the guy that built the engine for me has a similar setup as mine and sent me his dyno sheet the other day. Putting down a little over 460 to the ground.
