check your rpm wire(concerning vtec) to the distributor or you'll need to test another cluster

Ok so CEL wasn't working. Fixed it. So I'm getting a 17(VSS) 22(Vtec presure switch) and 41(O2 heater). Any help?

SOHC VTEC motors dont really have a kick when vtec engages..... if it was DOHC VTEC then you would be concerened.

Re: Poor in vtec performance (lance_ecl)

are you still getting a CEL? if you arent then thats just how your vtec hits... my old Z6 was pretty weak and just made a lil bit more noise. b16 vtec is NUTS though.
