quick ? would the CEL cause no vtec? or just come on at engagement point?

locals argue so thought id ask here

 

i'm pretty sure vtec would still work, the ecu only looks for knock at certain rpms, but I know that once you throw the code, the ecu retards your ignition timing, so you'll lose power throught the entire rpm band.

 

Yes the knock sensor cel will cause no vtec as well as put your car into limp mode.

 

thats what i thought also...CEL=no tec..but some say different..

ne one else have a thought??

 

It's from personal experience. Get rid of the cell because your car probably runs like absolute **** right now.

its not limp mode, it just pulls so much timing that it feels like it. limp mode has a rev limiter, and I know from experience that this cel doesn't cause that.

 

anyone else have say-so on the CEL to cause no vtec?

Well when I had the knock sensor cel it wouldn't let me rev higher than my vtec engagement.

 

mine defintely goes past engagement point, but the CEL comes n no mmmbhhahh

 

hmmm..bump cause im about to eat some chicken parm.

 

My knock sensor wire is disconnected and I still have V-TEC and can rev as high as I want.

 

agreed witj above guy. My knock sensor wire is screwed somewhere and the ecu isnt reading it. I still have vtec, and rev as high as i like. I just notice I'm not pulling as hard as I should. I'm going to just get a chipped p28 when wallets approves of it that elminates knock sensor.

 

so your throwing the CEL? or just screwed it somewhere else so it doesnt cause the CEL to come on

 

A knock sencor CEL either means the sensor is not working, or the wire is broken. It will not put your car into limp mode, and VTEC will still engage. Although you MIGHT have some power loss.

Why is the CEL light on? Mine had a problem on my B16 because the sensor wasn't tight enough in the block. Kept coming loose and throwing a CEL.

 

I have this CEL too.. I don't really feel my vtec kicking in but I bought the car with it on so I never felt it with vtec. I'm with one of the guys who said they are getting a chipped p28, once I get some stuff paid for that is what I am buying next.

 

the CEL comes on cuz i have no knock sensor at all...

but that will all be changed soon...just ordered a kenji chipped p28 off his site..

I had a knock CEL for a while and still "p0pped" m4d VTAK

 

lucky u..

im having my harness re-wired since i already checked the solenoid n vss, which they are good..thanks

 

do any of you guys know if a jdm p30 on an 00si would do this same thing....on my stock ecu running in obd2 i have no cel's, but on obd1 one, i get one, shouldnt it be the other way around....
