Ok well after having my car sit in the dealership for 6 weeks and they replaced 4 vtec rocker arms and tested everything (I think) they are now saying it could be something blocking the cat so when in vtec it revs slow and has no power. Any one have something like this happen before. My car will run fine under 6k but once it goes into vtec it revs slower and and struggles to hit or come close to redline and has absolutly no power in vtec.

 

clogged cat?

your car is completely stock? why did it have to under the scrutiny in the first place??

 

clogged cat... why didnt they just replace the damn thing??? damn dealerships...

 

well they ordered a new cat for me and they said it should be in tuesday or wednesday so Ill see if thats it. and now since m warranty is up I can order my H&R springs and new tires and N1 Exhaust

 

Hmm..what made it run like that in the first place?

 

Just run it open header and check if you think the cat is clogged.

 

OT...did you do any mods to your legend? 205hp seems kinda high for that year's legends...

are you sure that the v-tech is engaging?

 

VTEC man, not v-tech

the vtec is engaging mechanically and electronically.

 

I`ve had this happen (exactly!) a year ago..
My stock cams were ground in 4mm and the vtec lobes didn`t open the valves high enough.. So he died at 7800rpm.....
