Re: no vtec (540guy)

engages when? like when u try and hit vtec? or randomly when driving? also what else do u have in your car? vafc maybe? the only thing im thinking now is a ecu, or vafc(if installed) problem. or maybe bad connection on the solenoid.

... Uhhh... Yeah... With a built/boosted Type-R, you MIGHT want to keep up on your oil level a bit more. Bearings LOVE oil starvation.

checking oil takes what, 2 seconds? making this thread and waiting for replies, much longer.
