Yes another Vtec problem thread
I have a 97 hatch with a b18c1 swap. type R ECU. Oil level is good. I've had this car for a month now (WI, pretty cold up here) Sometimes vtec hits... sometimes it doesn't... the car has a SI cluster which the oil temp gauge isn't working right... The pin moves but hardly ( fromjust below the C to right above the C) and i'm not even sure if its moving according to temp change. I don't take it high enough for vtec to hit until its been running a while so the engine should be warm. possible vtec solenoid problem? does the faulty temp gauge show or cause the problem?

Re: Yes another Vtec problem thread
replaced the thermostat... everything seemed to be fixed until i realized the engine was warming up beyond the regular temp. So i popped the hood once again removed the thermostat housing and realized the thermostat was a 1/3 turn off so the bleed screw on it wasn't allowing it to work. Turned it, put it all back together and were all good! vtec hits hard once again :-D!
