Hi, im sorry if i posted in the wrong section-
i looked and this seemed the most reasonable...
short intro then problem-HELP please

i jsut got a 98 gsr with 128,000 yesterday- i knew what i wanted and did my reaserch...
i am mechanically inclined and have worked on alot of bugs before-but this gsr aint no VW--i am new to parts, and new to front engine set up but already after one day...PRoblem

originally - i felt the v-tec kick in when i drove it - i felt it right around 5-5 1/2rpms
then when i was driving home- the car jsut jolts when i hit 5rpms-right around where v tec is supposed to kick in- the car stays running and will run fine
but come 5rpms the engine just bam-somewaht dies and makes the car just jolt

someone sed it could be the oil canister or something like that right below the battery

HELP please-

ps the distributor and skark plug wires are all tight and snug in place

 

are u throwing any codes? if u are throwing certain codes the ecu will not allow vtec to engage.

 

i think the spool valve on the vtec is bad
its getting power to where its pluggin in but after that
they quoted me for the part 300 bucks --YIKES
cheaper anywhere?
thanks alot
