Ok heres my situation, i have a 97 vtec prelude with, intake, exhuast, plugs and wires, and a NX 50 shot. I have sprayed a few times but none recently. Ive noticed in the past few days my vtec doesnt seem to pull as hard as it used to. I dont have any clue what the problem could be. I change the oil every 2200 miles so i know thats not it. ANY HELP?????????
Thanks for any replies

 

I dont think the 50 shot is making the prob, if that is your first concern, because the h22 in general can handle 75 and down like its a day in the park! Vtec only works cause of oil pressure pushing these pins and on and on untill you get higher lift from the cams and boom vtec, im implying that you should have your oil pump and system checked! The oil pumps easy to get too with minimal shop Assistance provided your mechanically inclind. I would have a shop check for convenience! If your lude is dropped or has slammed down on anything lately a common thing is people dent their oil pan and the oil pump doesnt/isnt able to suck enough oil, through becuse the dent blocks its pah. Resulting in vtec loss or the aggression in it going away! Jack your car up and look for obvious dens in the bottom of the pan!
