friend has a 88 crx/B16a

the problem is the actuation of vtec, its like a casino you never know if you are going to win or lose.

<U>sometimes</U> first gear
<U>sometimes</U> second
and sometimes not at all

we have double checked everything we have done but maybe someone will have a fresh idea...

the DR.

what are you using to activate vtec? what kind of ecu? etc etc
need a little more info about his setup

check the oil level and the valve cover to radiator support ground.

it's a pr3

r7

oil level = good
redid all grounds = good

tried different pr3
tried different solenoid

still the same, anything else?

Unless your computer is fried, something must not be grounded right or correctly hooked up to have it fluctuate in the way you describe since you said you swap the solenoids and nothing happened. Back track connections to the ecu. I did a swap in which the o2 sensor wire was slighted stripped and was touching metal on the car. In turn, the car was getting incorrect o2 signals and didint run right. Sometimes is always little **** with older cars.

i'm going to rip everything out, and re-wire everything tomorrow. hopefully

i would like to find someone with a ecu with the mugen program.. due to the disabled knock, o2, and vtec oil pressure sensors.. .

where could i get one? without sending my ecu out

I'm pretty sure there is guy on ebay that sells chips for ECU's
