I dunno guys but i think my VTEC is all messed up I recently got a new selinoid and now today while driving in second gear going to 6,000 rpms I hear nothing. Now my car was warm and everything was right but I didnt hear anything. WHat do I do?

 

Oil level?

 

when i got my selinoid replaced I got an oil change. And my oil level is good.

 

i wish i had had that prob today.. then maybe i would of only gotten like a 20 mph over ticket... but i dunno what to tell ya.. Is it still under warrenty!? If so go bitch at the acura guys..

 

another question is does VTEC go off in first gear?

 

yesh

 

Punch it from 3,000 rpm to, say, 7,500 rpm. Somewhere in between 4400 rpm and 6000 rpm (i'm not exactly sure) u should hear a noticeable difference in sound. (I know vtec has 2 processes but I can't describe them in great detail, someone else with more knowledge want to post?)

 

vtec engages at 4400 rpm. secondary runners open up at 5800 rpm. vtec doesnt have two "processes". it allows a special profile (regarding camshafts) to be used at higher rpms..optimizing power for both low and high rpms. once it engages at 4400 that is it. secondary runners opening up is not part of the vtec process. also,slipknot, you are an idiot. why dont u ask your car politely if the vtec is working or not? maybe shes tired of you

 

LoL, maybe you could trader her in on a new model?

 

haha...by the way guyz slipknot23 is a friend of mine. so im juss givin him ****.
