I've ordered an h22a jdm engine from tigerjapanese...they said all sensors would be there....it came..took forever...got here....damaged oil pan..crack head cover....and the vtec pressure switch...(little green plug below the solenoid) is not there...i've looked and looked..and looked til my eyes couldn't look anymore...and its not there... can someone tell me....where the hell its at if its not near the vtec solenoid????

another issue...i can shift w/o stepping onto the clutch pedal....car won't go anywhere...is it a clutch problem or the whole tranny is junk???

 

Sounds like a clutch problem.

As far as the solenoid thing goes, have you thought that maybe your engine came without one?

Take a pic of that area and we can help you out.

 

Yeah even before seeing a pic, I will guess its a JDM OBD1 which didnt use that sensor, so the engine wont have one. To wire it up on a US ecu, you need the sensor, and its about 73 bucks from Honda IIRC

They did use vtec pressure switches, at least on mine and any other obd1 jdm h22 I've seen.
