Does vtec always kick in wether your accelerating slow or fast? The reason I ask is because my friend was driving it slow and got to the rpm vtec should have kicked in at, but it didnt kick in. Then I drove it, harder...more acceleration and it kicked in fine. Is that normal guys? Is the computer just good like that or what?

 

I think 25 mph or more until VTEC engages

 

there should be a sensor that knows when your in mtion as well as going over thirty miles an hour. other than that it should kick in.

 

Nah dude, he was at 6000rpm, first gear, but accelerating slow to get there, when i drove it, i accelerated harder and got there a whole lot faster and it kicked in....also it happens in every gear for him.... 1st, 2nd etc. but he was acclerating really slow...please guys, help

 

why would you want it to kick in when your accelerating slowly?
just a waste of gas if your not doing anything with it

its good in my opinion

i really do understand that comment...i really do, but i just want to make sure that its ok....he was accelerating slower..like in a 25mph neighborhood, and it wasnt kicking in...idk guys, you tell me...please..!!

 

from what i understand, the motor has to be under load(meaning accelerating pretty fast) for vtec to kick in.

 

oh dear god..

wtf, the engine has to be under load. what a faggy question.

 

If your car is OBD0 then it should kick in as OBD0 equpped cars do not have Electronic detectors. OBD1 and higher do so they can sense when the car is under load. I'm pretty sure this is the reason. No idea why the car won't vtec in neutral, maybe the computer senses that for the amount of throttle given the revs are spooling up to fast?

 

ahhhhhh were you trying to impress bystanders with mad 20mph VTACK? disgust!

Indeed, it does not. My typing of 'VTACK' was for purely phonetic reasons. This was an attempt to mimic the way in which an extremely moronic, thugged-out, rap-listening retard would yell, gleefully, "vtec".
