alright so my b16 swap is done, but i dont think vtec is engaging. When i turn the car on everything is normal..i drive around for a bit then when i take it up to about 6-7000RPM i get the check engine light. If i turn the car off it goes away.

should i just shut the car off then check the code (because it doesnt appear when i turn it on)

Yes, check the code..

you got enough oil in there, and.. is your engine warmed up.. and pressure built

 

should be, this is after driving around for 10-15 mins..engine temp is on the halfway normal mark..speedo works...

so it's not oil pressure..

Pull the code

 

checked the solenoid and it clicked, so it is working...then i went to crappy tire and bought some octane boost (i had 89 in the tank from the d15) ..and now vtec is working '


however still getting the code, i'll check it tomorrow and post it.

 

when the cell comes on dont turn off the car check the cel while car is running

 

was getting code 20 and 23 (ELD and knock)

fixed the knock sensor (bad wiring..my fault) and i dont even have an ELD in my fuse box so i'll have to suffer with it for a bit..or get a chipped p28
