yo guys i have a 93 honda civic hatch .. its a cx and i have a b16a.... well i used a p05 ecu so i could break in the mota.... but when my p28 came in i plugged it in and it didn't hit vtec ..... my friend just got his swap from hmotors and i used his p30 and it still didn't work.... the thing is when i had the p05 my check engine light wasent on ... but with the p28 and the p30 my check engine light is on .... WTF!!!!!!!

 

check the CEL

u might answer your own question if you find out what it's throwing.

Alot of things must be perfect in order for vtec to engage, so just check everything out.

 

anybody else got any hints... my check engine will stop vtec???

 

Check all of your wiring first. There is a great link stickied in the EG forum that shows what every pinout is for on a P28 and what wires are what coming out of your harness.

Then check your oil level and then check your oil pressure.

More than likely you have a wiring issue somewhere.

 

just check to see what code u r throwing and u will solve ur problem!

^Ignorance ownes you!

 

did you even wire vtec?

 

vtec is wired but im not sure if it is correctly .... can anyone help me???

 

go to hybrid garage it shoes you exactly what you should wire for vtec for your particular swap. and check to see if your solenoid is still good

 

Jump the connector, and tell us what code it's throwing

 

negative, you can still hit vtec with CEL on. as for the poster, check what code you're throwing, duh?

 

you cant hit vtec with cel if ur throwing code 21 or 22.

 

guys i took my glove box off and everything and i cant find this plug that im suppose to jump ..... wtf .... i will have a pic of what i got goin on like tomm
