vtech is not kicking in. What could be the prob?

 

Do you have a cel ?

 

check the oil?

 

vtec, anyways , you have to be more specific than that, what motor ,what ecu, hell what car, did you just do a swap ? vtec will engage if several factors exist, oil press. , temp, throttle position, rpm, . give us some more info on the car....

 

please dont tell us u have a stock ls or something.....not all honda/acura engines have VTEC

 

everything...

check for codes. then actually put a vtec motor in there.

 

first what kind of engine do you have?? and how do you know vtec isn't kicking in??

u don't really feel a "kick" when vtec hits.. its like a smooth transition

 

the vtec jokes are so gay and immature

anyways do you have a cel ?

remember to tell them some is trying to jack you <U>vtec</U>...then tellem you need help soon or its gonna die...

j/k, try to clean out your vtec solenoid (3 screws, and 2 plugs, easy DIY!) Once off wipe everything down and clean out the little mesh filter. I switched mine with a newer, cleaner soleniod and it works alot better. Kicks in just alittle it harder, hence I only have an EJ8. But I can sell you mine for cheap, dealer goes for $200+.

 

Man how did you know i had an ls... do you know what my problem might be? j/k. Im not that dumb i have a 99 civic si

The oil needs to be at a certain level for vtec to work.

Does it not kick in at all, or is it kind of in and out?

He should feel a difference when vtec hits. I certainly do, but many times d-series don't "kick" as hard.

Its because you dont have Vtech Nitro :

Your car's fuzzy logic computer kicks in vtec based on rpm and gear. It could be electrical or mechanical, you should go thru the factory diagnostic in the helms.
