vetc? uh oh

 

in before the lock

you should check your vtec oil

 

You could also try bleeding your vtec solenoid or checking your screens, both in your vtec solenoid and also on the plate mounted between your head and solenoid its self. Sometimes things can get clogged in there.

I had a friend with a "vtec engaugement issue" and I removed the solenoid plate and screen to find a gnat (small bug) stuck in the screen. After that it was all back to vtec land. Let me know

 

whats your mods?

 

ls vtec, intake, exaust

 

with an intake and exhaust you should really notice the sound of vtec, are you throwing any codes?

 

no

 

did you install the engine, or buy the car with it in

 

bought it with it installed

 

With stock exhaust I could hear it in my GSR..

 

vetc? well at least you didnt put an "H" in there lol.

 

no vtec y0 how about your oil?

 

low oil..weather temperature also contribute to vtec not engaging. check oil first, check the vtec solenoid, might be dirty?

 

Make sure to check your oil pressure line coming up from your bottom end to your head. Sometimes people **** out and run too small of a line or pinch it off. Make sure it's atleast a .6AN line. I had the same issues with that on my ls/vtec build. Also make sure you have a ecu to run vtec and make sure it's also pined for it in your engine harness. If you bought this car as is without knowing these issues thats pretty silly. Hopefully its just something simple though. G/L

 

yeah def check ur oil, if its low, which it sounds like, add some and it should be back to normal

 

problem fixed. i blead the oil line and now its running normal again
thanks for the help guys

 

glad to see you got it fixed
