I have a 96 hatch. I put a 2000 sohc vtec in. pinned knock, vtec oil pressure, vtec silonoid, and did iacv repin. I used the 96 cx harness. I also put the inturnals of the sohc non vtec distributor in the sohc vtec distibutor housing so I wouldn't have to cut the distibutor plugs and put another plug on them. Everything else works great but throw cel 22. I also have converted back to obd1. Anything would be helpful. thanks And if anyone asks yes all wiring is pinned correctly. 100% sure with obd2 pins and the black ground for the vtec pressure switch has been grounded.

maybe the solenoid is bad itself?

throws no codes when you start the car, but when you get to 5 or 6k it throws vtec sole. if it doesnt work soon , im going to yank this motor out throw it in the ditch next to my shop!

So you have no VTEC at all ? Doesn't make a sound or anything ?

sihatch19

no sound of vtec,we even pluged a obd2 gsr ecu in and we threw no codes and vtec still didnt work, the motor thats in ran great in the car we yanked it out of

your vtec is broke! the soli is probably bad.

Jumper 12 volts to the solenoid and see if it activates. I did this while on the dyno once, I unplugged the VTEC solenoid and ran a aligator clip from the positive battery and touched the end to the vtec solenoid at the rpm I wanted to activate it. You can do the same just to check the solenoid function.
