I got my head rebuilt a few weeks ago, installed it all this past weekend, took it out for a drive and im not hitting vtec, no codes, got tons of oil pressure, vss is working fine.

I cleaned out the filter on the solenoid, it did have some metal shavings in it.

It worked fine before the rebuild

B16 bottom end
GSR head

also I added some comp cams, but no cross over

any ideas?

 

anyone?

 

did you try swapping the vtec solenoid with a different one?

 

im gonna try that tonight


is there anything inside the solenoid that needs to be cleaned besides the filter?

 

just the wire screen is all i can think of. is your vtec wired straight to the ecu? or are you running a vtec harness? check for loose wire connections.

 

Man I feel sorry for you..I have the same problem got my head back from machine shop..vtec worked but made a clicking noise at changeover..then vtec stopped working...so I took my head off put stock b16 head on and still does it then goes away after..nothing but a headache..almost want to sell my car

 

sell it to me

i am currently doing my cars with a 1 wire VTEC, i turn off every sensor, and just wire the solenoid. works like a charm


A4 bitches.

 

factory harness out of a si, wire's are ok, but ill check again

vss might be out of a d-series, or something, cause the bolt hole dosn't line up with the hole in the tranny

 

well if the bolt hole doesn't line up then maybe the vss isn't working properly since its not mounted properly........just a thought. good luck though

 

hey got it too work

haha actually it was working the whole time, engagment was soooo smooth

that and i havnt driven anything with any power in 10 months, i think i lost the feel for it

also when i drove it, the exhaust hanger broke, and it was all distorted

go figure haha

thanks guys

 

hahahaha..... good shiet at least you now it works now!

 

haha yea, i got a chipped p28 with a 5700 x-over

i was playing around out in the farm area to my hidden test track, and there's no way i would be doing that kind of speed in that short of distance hehe

thanks guys, this soul has been needing vtec for a long time, and it finally got it!
