Check out this for any vtec power loss.....????
Ok so I posted a message about a month ago about when I stored my car it ran fine and then 3 months later when I took it out it ran like ****...It had NO POWER in vtec and would not go to fuel cut off at all and would hardly hit the redline....it had some wierd problem that I nor anyone else (acura dealership or honda dealership). I checked everything and no clue...
The dealer ship found out that 4 sets of rocker arms were stuck and didnt work so they replaced them and it was under warranty so I was happy to get my car back. When I drove i it, it did the same thing it did before they fixed. I was ******* pissed...So I went back in and they said they didnt seem to see anything wrong with it and i told them "I know this car and it has no power" I brought the mechanic for a ride and I tried to hit the rev limiter and it didnt and then he relized it was still messed up.
Well it came to be the ecu wasnt going into vtec so it ran very very rich and the timing never changed.
One month later Im getting it back tommorow finally and I hope its fine.
Well if you guys ever have this problem keepp this in mind.

man im having the same problem.
Everything mechanically and wiring is good. I go to hit vtec, exhaust changes so the solenoid/rockers change but it just stops pulling and revs so slow.
I think the ecu isnt doing all it should be for vtec, the ecu is chipped so its probably bad. Vtec has never worked with this ecu.
