i have a 99-00 si and i was wondering if there was anything wrong with my vtec solenoid or if it was something else. vtec has a tendency to only kick in when the engine is warmed up. and sometimes it doesn't kick in at all. just wondering if this is normal or whats wrong with it if isn't normal?

 

Vtec won't engage unless the vehicle is up to Normal Operating Temp.

VTEC only activates when the engine is at operating temperature. Make sure your oil level is correct.

 

In Addition, there must be enough oil, oil pressure, and obviously (I think) 5200 (or so) rpms.

yea wat is it... 55psi of oil pressure. normal operating temp. and also.... speedo over 10 mph.

 

what a dumbass you are redlining your car when its not warmed up? you can kiss your motot good by soon

 

not a dumbass just late for work some mornings jackass, you must see the noob and look for a way to make an *** out of yourself. plus you dont have to redline for vtec to kick in, it kicks in at 5600 and my redline is 82, so go expletive yourself. thanks for all the usefull info from everyone else.

Lol... and burning out, out of the driveway is going to get you there alot quicker eh?

 

nobody can win when they are a noob can they? take everything and add your own little twist on it. again thanks for all the usefull information. i'll be sure to check my oil level. since its not only when its cold.

 

your still a dumbass why would you even take your motor to 5500rpm when its cold. when the engine is cold it is slapping the **** outta the cylinder walls when you beat on it

 

502 yes he is right . u dont need to run the **** out of it when its cold. hghest u should take it to is like 3500 untill it warms up... in a bank robbery. the driver always has the car warmed up so when the cops try to catch him. BOOM vtec kicks in and they win.
