ok guys i need help i have a 88 hatch dx model with a first gen b16a. i have no vtec lol. i have the vtec sylinoid wired into the ecu, the oil sylinoid is wired into the ecu but im running a dc 4-2-1 header with no 02 sensors but it seems to run great except for no vtec. the only code im throwing is a vss code and thats hooked up as far as i can tell. any info would be great.

thanks

 

Get rid of all the codes.

Any CEL will prevent the vtec from operating.

 

if you are throwing a vss code it will not activate vtec, get it fixed and see what happens

 

if the cable is plugged in the tranny and into the cluster and it works what else could it be?

x2, if your speedo is working then your vss is fine and it is your speed amplifier in your speedo gauge which means you have to replace the actual speedometer to get your vtec working again. that happened to my '90 Si last year.

 

whats a speedo meter? and what do i do just buy a new cluster?

are you serious???? what's a speedometer??? did you bump your head or something?? it's the little thing in your cluster that tells you how fast your, um.......SPEED is!! it would be cheaper to buy a used cluster than it would be to buy a new speedo unit at the dealer. until then I think you need some rest or something cause if you don't know what your speedometer is then you need to stop driving all together

 

sorry lol i had a brain fart. lmao thanks for the help man
