i just dropped a new motor in my ef so i have not wired up the vtec to the ecu yet. so i riged the vtec to a button for a day till i can wire up the vtec to the ecu.. but then it just didn't work so i took off the the solenoid to check it out, so i cleaned it and put it back on and still no vtec.. could it be the oil presure or the solenoid f&cked up or could it be something in the head..

ohh ya the motor is a b16a

 

why don't you wire it up right and see what happens.

I bet your ecu is throwing code 21 or 22 and that's why vtec isn't working.

 

ya i know that but you can hear the solenoid when it clicks on but no vtec at all it s not the wiring its some thing else

thanks anyway

 

does ur speedometer work???? umm.. any other codes on ur ecu....

for vtec to work the:

1 speedometer has to work
2 no codes on ecu
3 wired correctly

sounds liek i knwo what im talkign about huh.. well my vtec is not working so i've been looking into what it could be and i came across a few interesting things...

4. oil pressure!!

That stuff doesnt matter..He is running vtec with a button..So it sounds like you're low on oil..You better run a 30amp relay with the button or you will blow out the solenoid,,

 

i was runnig the vtec with direct current for now till i get the ****** vss right on my gsr cluster thats a bicth man.. it has oil, today i changed the oil pan on the motor and i put new oil in it.

i think its either
1. solenoid is messed up
2.theres something wrong in the head
3. or low oil pressure which means (new oil pump)

 

some more info would be nice

 

bump this biaaaaaaaaacth...!

 

my brother hit a ditch once in his accord his vtec quit working and a couple days lata it worked again. maybe your honda will fix itself

 

i hope man cause this is just driving me nuts, it has stoped the hole project.

 

just hook it up right please! you won't see nearly the performance gain like this because your ecu won't be using the vtec fuel/ignition maps. it'll just toss on a different cam lobe and not compensate for it.

 

if the speedo doesnt work you wont have vtec...u just answered your own question "i was runnig the vtec with direct current for now till i get the ****** vss right on my gsr cluster thats a bicth man.. it has oil, today i changed the oil pan on the motor and i put new oil in it"
