Are you fully warmed up?
in a foward gear?
Whats your oil pressure ?

whats 21 again? the cold medicines I took are killing my memory.

VTEC engagement point on VAFC?

 

it was 5900 and that wasnt working,
so i changed it over to 4500 for hi cam still dosent work,

 

it is warmed up,
the oil pressure should be good bc thats code 22,
and code 21 is the vss

VAFC wired correctly? Also try taking it out of the loop just incase.

I'm not a fan of VAFC at all and 4500 seems quite low to try at.

Agreed. Try it back around "stock" levels (~5K) and clear up that VSS code.

 

could it be the oil even though it is not throwing a code,
ill change it back to 5900

why is it at 5900? What cams do you have in it?

 

stock cams the ones in the b16a1

That's probbly too high then, aim for like 5100.

 

What gas do you have in it???? If its not premium it wont engage

 

ialways use 91 mixed w\ either 110, or octaine booster,
but if it would kickin at 5100 wouldnt it just do that when set at 4500 but just wait till it hit 5100 or would it quit telling it to kick over ??

Don't waste your time with octane booster...

Can you please repharse what you say?

 

What i Tried to say was when it is set at a point (like 4500 for ex.) and if it dosent kick over at that point, does it keep trying to kick over, like by the time it got up to 5100, or after 4500 would it just stay with low cams and not try to kick over again

If it tosses a code it will not trying changing over again.

 

It wasnt working b4 i had the Vafc, so do you think that it could be something else?

If you can give it a wihrl. I'm running low on ideas other then a dead solinoid low oil pressure and a few other things.

 

ive been using 5w20 oil, would that make a diff.
i belive taht is the right oil

5-20 is a bit light, 5-30 is probbly better.

But shouldn't effect vtec engament.

 

what oil pressure is it supose to be at,
i dont have an oil pressure gage, but if it means working vtec i can take a shot at going take it to the shop to find out,

wellllll its right with my baby...93 gsr.....wouldn't engage after a swap with regular gas so i figured maybe its just not warm enough after abotu a 10 minute mashing drive still nothing....someone on HT said it wont engage without premium so i took it to the gas station filled her up with premium and i pulled out the the driveway in my little rex then next thing i know i was slammed to my seat cuz i wasn't expecting it.....so its not bullshit premium is the engager atleast for my swap
