1. ok i was running my car and i heard vtec kicks in at 4700 ok but the other day at like 6000 my vtec kicks in like i could hear the real loud screaming if u want tot call it that and now i dont is my vtec sloenoid bad or wats going wrong and where is a good site to go and look at jdm produxcts?? thx

 

anyone?

 

How do you know it was engaging at 6k? Do you have a CEL?

 

the car is completely stock cept aem cold air intake and a cat back exhaust and my friend was in the car and hes really into the b series motors and he said that the loud scream is the vtec and it was engaging at about 6k and its not now any help

 

If your friend knows so much why don't you ask him?

 

well cant hes not here and i know yous could help me i was just wondering wat could of happened?

 

stock VTEC activation point is not that low on any integra, 6 is a bout right for most applications, and if your tach is off then its probably dead on

 

like tonight on my road which is very little traveled i was in 3rd gear and i punched it and shifted at like 6500 and it didnt kick in yet? do u think solonoid is bad?

yea??? I could swear the stock vtec engagement for a GSR was 4400...which is close to his 4700 which he heard it at... (Tach calibration)

That's it. He was probably hearing the secondaries though...

 

first of all im not asking that im asking that is my solenoid bad because its not engaging? thats wat i need help on

 

If vtec is not engaging and if it is engaging late are two entirely different things.

i just said this ...

it would throw a CEL if it wasnt functioning properly...You probably didnt notice it?? Most likely it would throw code 22 or 21 etc etc (one of the low 20's dont remember off top of head).. There really isnt much to the solenoid

i apologize, you are correct...sounds like a pressure switch or solenoid, but i would imagine a code would be thrown too

check engine light...orange light on the dash, you cant miss it, check the code if its throwing one and go from there

lmao i quoted you by accident...I meant to quote him

 

CEL check engine lioght im a idiot lol ok but it did flicker tonight now that i think about it on the high way i was in like 4th gear at like 4k and it came on then i was at gas station adn i turned off then i turned it on and its gone light was off

 

I just read your other thread..if you own a 93 GSR...your engagement is higher than 4400...More around that 6k you heard it at...Also if you saw the CEL, drive the car again...Run into VTEC...watch the CEL, if it comes on , try to hit VTEC again...If you fail. Turn off the car, and try to hit VTEC, if it allows you. Do 1 or both of these things

1. pull the code (eh check the FAQ's for this one)
2. Clean the solenoid if you get code in the low 20's
