whats up ht..i have a problem with my vtec.i dont hear my vtec open up.can anyone give me some insite ofwhat can be the problem.

 

only a bunch of diffrent things. SEARCH and welcome to honda-tech.

 

Any CEL (check engine light)?

 

yea the cel is on but its been on since i did the swap on the car.i have a b16 motor and a gsr ecu.

 

thanks for the vague responses. WE NEED MORE INFO! did you attempt to check the code?

 

First off, that's the wrong ECU to run the B16. You are probably getting a CEL for the IAB. Second, the stock GSR VTEC crossover is very quiet and less of a pop than if you were to run a B16 ECU.

true, he could also have mutiple codes if his cel has been on forever.

 

get a Pr3 ECU, right now im running b16 on my 99 EX i feel my vtec kicks in hard...even with my ls tranny..lol...

 

thanks i'll change the ecu and see if it still gives me a problem.

 

Check the codes that your ECU is throwing first before buying a new one.

 

how could i do that....im new to the honda game

 

There's a stick at the top of the thread for checking ecu codes.

He'll need to buy a new ECU anyways, he's running the wrong one

 

my vtec solenoid is kind of rusted could that be the problem????

 

the fact that he's running a gsr ecu wouldn't prevent vtec from working, and gsr's don't have a quieter vtec than b16's &gt;_&gt;

check you're wiring. what car is this b16 in?

the codes from the gsr ecu should be just the IAB/evap, vtec should still work @ 4400.

Oh, well running the ecu is probably his problem Lol

there ya go

 

did you buy the car like it is now?

 

a 94 4 door...what chassis package??? is it an lx, dx?
if you don't know then do you have power windows, and locks, etc. ???

usually if you have the DX chassis there will be no wiring in the engine harness for vtec...
