No vtec and No cel's help......
As the the title says i have no vtec and no cel. i have a crx with a pr3 obd0 ecu and b16a motor. I checked the wiring its all good, chnaged ecu's, changed the oil, and checked to see if the cel bulb worked. I figure it could not be my oil pressure or i would have gotton a vtp switch cel. any help would be great thanks.

dented oil pan obstructing the pickup
that little screen thing on the actual solenoid might need cleaning
those are two possibilities that dont throw cels

Doublethink. A dented oil pan whould cause low oil pressure and would cause a code for the v-tec oil pressure switch, and or your oil pressure light.

Triplethink
He may be tuned on crome or someother engine management where most disable the vtec oil pressure sensor.

Re: No vtec and No cel's help...... (HondaPartsHero)
Thanks for the help i will try cleaning out my solinoid to see if that works and btw my ecu is chipped just to change vtec engagement to 5 grand and rev lim to 9000 i also tried using another virgin pr3 and still no vtec. no cel with either ecu so correct me if i am wrong but does this mean i dont have a oil pressure problem causing my no vtec but rather a problem with the solinoid?
