ok, so i have a d16y8... it seems like lately my vtec isn't kicking in as strong as it usually has, or it takes a few runs to start kicking in like it should... i know it's only a SOHC, but it's pretty loud for what it's worth...

i checked the oil (10w-30), it is filled... my car is always fully warmed up...

*on a side note, i'm almost positive i need a new PCV valve, would this have anything to do with it?

* new oil pump?

* should i change to a different viscosity oil since my engine is getting older? (i have like 115,000 miles on it)...

 

Iam only going to say 1 thing..

FI

 

i'm getting there.... i need more money... haha....

i'd like to get my car running 100% first though

 

If that is the case then dont worry about it i dont even think my vtec works but my car is moving good

 

well i want vtec cuz it's all i have!

 

bump.... any ideas?

 

i was having the same problem but it wound up being my oil pressure plug on my seliniod lukily i had an extra harness i might suggest you checking that.

 

when you switched the plug..... before that was it throwing a CEL? i just did a mini me and wired everything up and i get no CEL but i cant feel the vtec engauge, nor can i hear it. my car does seem faster over all though.?
