i got a 91 civic hatch with a jdm b16 swap/pr3 ecu...so ill be drivin on the freeway in fifth aand if i downshift it and get on it a couple times it throws out the cel 22...it doesnt do it if i make drag runs so im confused...what it does do when the light comes on is: engine runs funky...revs very slowly...wont go over 7,000 rpm..usually pulls hard till about 8,000...as soon as i turn it off and let it chill for a like only two minutes,then turn it back on its fine again..so im like wtf...the guy who i bought it from says that its a vtec code for oil pressure but didnt exactly know what the deal was..he said he encountered it as well..and it didnt start doin it till he installed the vafc(would that even have anything to do with it?)...i changed the oil and oil filter today just to see if it might make a difference..i dont know what kind he was using but i put in 20w-50..the light did not come on after i changed the oil..but i also did not drive it hard..i just dont want something to get majorly f'ed up in a car i just got last saturday..if anyone has any suggestions or has dealt with anything like this before..please help me out..ANY advice will be appreciated..thanks.

 

check the filter screen in the solenoid. maybe clogged . pull the 3 ten mm screws out and remove the solenoid . should be a screen there. if not check the wiring again. also only use 5w-30 oil.

 

someone mentioned that the cel 22 was for the vtec pressure valve..can this be repaired or must it be replaced?? i love this car and it pulls so hard when the light is on..but as soon as the light turns on it feels like non vtec sohc..i also wonder why it only happens when i downshift to fourth??hopefully someone has personally dealt with this kinda thing before
