Is it possible for your vtec not to engage and yet not a code/check light? If so what are some of the conditions? Assume turbo motor, good ecu and working check light.

 

the first thing anyone should do if their vtec doesnt work is check the oil lol

seems to happen to my sister quite a bit

 

Then check the soleniod itself and the screen for it too.

 

I have always been wondering, how would I get to the solenoid and the screen to clean it out?

 

can neone help me out with this?
EDIT: nm, I found it in Helms, this thing kicks ***

to answer your question, yes, vtec can not engauge and not set a code. there are certian requirements for vtec to engauge, if one is not met that does not mean the car has a huge problem, it just might mean theres low oil , cars not warm enough , not enough throttle position measured, etc,

 

you also want to check the wire connection to the solenoid, I know mine has fallen out a time or 2, always seems to be when I race someone too....
