I blew my b16a a while back just got another put together and running but the head that i used didn't have the vtec solinoid on it so i used the one from my blown motor. I have everything hooked up and full on oil. I do have a vtec controller its a soon one and its hooked up fine also. What can be some things I can try thanks. 1994 Honda Civic Ex b16a

jesus christ stop posting

 

No I don't have any cels and what can I use to clean it and what can I use to clean out the solenoid if that might help also.

 

just buy a new gasket from honda

 

Ok and should I try and clean out the solenoid or if that doesn't fix my problem what else could I try.

Are you autistic?

Try unplugging your vtec controller. It's a good way to see if that's what's causing your problem. I don't think your vtec solenoid would have gotten damaged when you blew your motor.

 

That was not it tried thanks for trying to help any other suggestions?

 

Take off the solenoid, does it have oil in it?

 

Just toke it off and had plenty of oil in it.

 

Vtec will only engage when it's at a certain PSI. I'm too lazy to find it right now.

Make sure the pressure is charging.

 

How do i know if it is or not.

 

Clean it with carb cleaner BTW or brake cleaner both do the same thing.

 

Thanks I will try that today

 

wire to solenoid seemed messed up so I spliced it and still nothing

 

Maybe the plug or prongs on solonoid plug got damaged or corroded? Use a test light to see if you have power to the solonoid between the solonoid and the plug. Or maybe see if you have continuity from the harness thru the plug to the solonoid side on each wire?

If that is not it, try a buddy's solonoid on your car and use new gaskets. If it works, then something is wrong with your solonoid and will need to get another one.

Good luck!
