Bump... need help vtec is not engaging also.Im throwing vtec oil pressure code. tried rewiring to ecu, checked oil, cleaned out vtec solenoid screen. Throws code when i should be in vtec and then when i restart my car its gone. When i removed vtec solenoid no oil came running out? is this right? is my oil pick up clogged? any help is appreciated this is driving me crazy! next step looks like im taking of the oil pan.

replace the switch if your oil pick up was clogged youd have alot more problems than a vtec code and stop revving to 7k its a single cam for crap sakes

if oil pickiup in pan was clogged you probly would still be walking back home, or waiting for a tow truck. Trace the oil feed and return lines from solenoid to where they connect/disconnect, and clean them out, if theat don't work, go further down the lines, etc etc.

(clean out with compressed air or something, no water or cleaners, unless maybe its oil additives or oil)
