i was wondering what i should do if my vtech doesn't kick in. i have i 99 honda civic si and when i try hitting my vtech you don't hear it and you don't feel it. i was wonder is there something wrong with my car or is the vtech not that strong.

 

Correction: VTEC, unless your talking about your phone...
Not to be a dick

 

theres no H in vtec....

Are you throwing any cel's? Hows your oil? Vtec oil filter?

 

Who gives a flying expletive how vtec is spelled? If you can't help, don't post.

Listen to your own advice.

There are pleny of vtec troubleshooting threads around. I believe there are a few listed in the faq.

EDIT: Heres a good one. https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=164863

Check your oil level and when was the last time you changed your oil? Level and cleanliness is your key if both are good then check your solenoid!!!!

 

^^^ yeah really

 

vtec is regulated through oil for the most part

first thing to do if there is no CEL is check your oil level...

if that is fine then i would check the voltage and resistence to the vtec soleniod...
