alright well when i try to kick my vtec in, it doesnt pull at all. you can hear it trying to engage, but doesnt pull like it used to. Also i'm having smoke come out of my exhaust everytime i try to engage it. People were saying that could just be my aftermarket fuel regulator. but idk i get diff. answers all the time. I have oil in the car, and i cleaned the screen out on the solenoid. anybody anthing? thanks.

 

rings?

 

Are you burning oil?

 

im not even sure. it doesnt smell like oil, to be honest im so lost cause so many people put me in a diff. direction. and its so confusing. any help to check or what to do?

 

i'd do a compression check

 

what should my stock internals be running (number wise)????

And how do i check if my solenoid clicks or w/e people talk about. do i take the whold solenoid off the head? or what? thanks alot

 

With a USDM h22 motor, you should be running around 200-220 if healthy.

JDM h22 motors are running at around 210-230 for compression numbers.

 

yah its a JDM. thanks i appreciate it. just gotta go check it now.
