Today we checked the CEL

it was throwing codes 6 & 22

6= IAT sensor
22= Vtec Oil Pressure Sensor

We took the IAT sensor from my other lude and put it in still no change
Took off the vtec soleniod, the screen was great, but still cleaned it.
Still nothing, checked oil. im about a half a quart low..

what oil type should i use?

Where is the vtec oil pressure sensor?
im gonna do some more searching..if anyone has any suggestions please post.

 

the VTEC pressure switch is in the VTEC solenoid. so you either need oil, or your solenoid could be done. i dont think its the OPS on the back of the block, but i could be wrong. fill your oil.

 

I made a write up a while back let me know what you think

the write up looks great.
im gonna crack down on it tomorrow.

 

witch type of oil should be used??

i've got 10w-30 in it right now

should it be synthetic or non??

srry i am very vtec stupid

 

ground the solenoid and see if it clicks.

having a service manual really helps.

 

i have the big yellow one.
the chilton one.
i searched through it but couldn't really find much..didn't really know what to look for i guess...

i have 10w-30 vavoline in it.
is this ok, i've heard that vtec wont hit with different types of oil

 

10w30 will work. The thicker the oil, the more pressure. vtec works off oil pressure and as long as the ecu see's a certain oil pressure, vtec will work.
