ok what i have going on here is we droped this b-16 into my 92 civic dx hatch. and we can not get the vtec to engage. im running a P28 with a chip burnt to engage at stock rpm. and we used the test light and we have no power to the wire for the vetc. we used the sit and rev method to see if it gets power and tried taking it down the road as well. once we tried this and got no vtec we tried a p05 with a chip burned with the complete stock maps. and we still had no vtec or power out of the ecu. we tested the swich with a driect from batt to swich and we could hear the vtec swich. we are completly baffeled as to why we cant get the vtec to engage from the ecu. any ideas? thanks in advance.

maybe ur solenoid is bad. or maybe u have wires switched up a lil. idk what it could be though.

 

vtec wont work if your not under load/in gear.
vtec will not work if you have most any cel

and it isnt a power a constant

 

we tried it under load. going down the road.
and i currently do not have my 02 sensor wired that would cause it not to engauge? (since its throwing a cel) humm. thats good to know. looks like im gona be wiring my o2 soon. thanks! any more opinions would be grat as well!
