I got my car back yesterday and was stoked to see it and hear it. The drop gave it about a finger-a finger and a half gap between the tires adn fender and the exhaust sounded real throaty. Well I took it for a test drive last night but couldnt do too much damage cuz it was wet out. I hit Vtec a couple of times and the exhaust got a little rasppy but thats not my complaint just yet. I was just driving to work today getting onto the highway and I wasnted to rip past this car so I get over drop it to 2nd and rev rev rev... it starts bouncing off the vtec like a revlimitter. My CEL is on so I will check that at lunchtime. WTF could it be. Im soooo pissed right now. Please help. I will post pics of the car in the next few days.

 

Low oil??

 

If you have a check engine light... limp mode? Low oil can cause vtec to not engage as well.

 

CEL 22 thats what Im throwing

Vtec Pressure Valve. I would check your oil level.

 

will do, its happened before. Do you think I could have an oil leak?

That's a possibility. But I'd check the level first. Then check for leaks. There is slightly more oil consumption when you're in Vtec/high rpm's, so that's a given.

 

VTEC burns oil check your oil level.

 

good stuff guys

hey shamoo you live in brick?

 

Oil Level Or Bad Vtec Solenoid.....And I Can Almost Guarantee You Have A Leak Right At The Bottom Of The Front Of Your Valve Cover Where The Cam Seal Is, Shoud Be Right Behind The Vtec Solenoid...If Its A Factory 1, Thats Definatly Your Leak, Or You Have Worse Problems....So Lets Wish For The Small Stuff Right, Later

 

nah it was my oil level, plus im due for an oil change so my guess is that the oil is burning up quicker since its breaking down and this would explain my low oil level.

Old Bridge, sir.

 

Check your oil-pressure

-or-

you might have to change your selonoid.

 

That was quite possibly the funniest way to explain a problem with your car. Nice humor!

Still though, sounds like you're burning quite a lot of oil. Might be blow by, see if the oil smells like gas at all.

 

Check your oil it might be too low.
