sup i got a code 22 from my h22, crx car is converted to obd1, here is what happens, i would hit vtec maybe for half a second in 1st or second and it wont throw code but if i hit it in 3rd and stay in it engine light will come on directly i searrched and searched and i tried everything i read but no solution any help would greatly be appreciated

i have cleaned vtec solenoid 3x
changed oil psi switch
changed vtec solenoid
oil pump is good gauge reads fine oil psi
grounded the solenoid
grounded the oil psi switch
made sure all wires are pinned right in ecu

i dont know what else to do please help

 

code 22 is vtec pressure valve

changin that should of fixed the code for a healthy one

 

splice your pressure switch to your solenoid wire and then disconnect the pressure switch plug
most jdm motors dont have this and this is how it is done
it wont throw a check engine code and it will go into high cam.
the switch is really pointless because it makes sure there is enough oil to go into vtec but it uses oil pressure to go into high cam anyways so it cant go if there isnt enough pressure so its useless really.
but thats a good way to fix it. i did the same thing last weekend
no problems at all.

 

Do what the above said, but I wired one into mine even though it was a JDM piece w/o one. I'd rather have the safety measure in case the oil pressure is low. I am paranoid with my cars, and a maintenance *****, but I love having it there.

 

thanks guys i will try tommorow morning if that doesnt work only thing left to do is take harness out and try another one????

 

been there.
could be your computer
if its an old computer it could just be bad

 

ive tried 3 different computers 2 p28's and one p72

 

well just splice those wires.
should clear the problem up
as i said its a useless sensor

 

I had trouble with it one time and it turned out to be that the wires for the oil pressure switch were reversed. it fixed it for me. or like they said maybe the sensor it self is bad

dont waste money on the sensor.
get rid of it.
theres a black wire that is the ground and the other (idk what color) that is the signal wire.
splice it into your vtec solenoid wire, then unplug the pressure sensor plug and leave it hangin or remove it completly.
badda bing, pressure switch problem solved.
if the issue is still there, then idk what the problem is.

 

will let u know as soon as i try it tommorow

 

ttt still having trouble guyz
