Default Vtec Soleniod Miswiring?



when checking my vtec solenoid it became apparent that the green plug was plugged in....and the other one (sorry i forget the names :/) was non-existent

no other wires were found that could plug into this except for one that seemed to be yellow/greenish/blue? wrapped up and about 3 inches too car to plug in.

anyone able to help me wire this or find my missing connector?

Is your coupe an EX model? if not youre gonna have to hardwire the Vtec solenoid (the extra grey single wire plug) straight to the ecu

originally it was a DX but the last owner had a d16z6 put in so i don't think it has the connector for it

and is it just one wire that goes to the ecu? or do i need a ground as well?

The Vtec solenoid (top one with just one wire) has one wire that goes to the ecu.

The Vtec Oil pressure sensor bottem one (has the light green plastic) has a signal and a ground wire.

Look at your ecu plugs to see if there are wires in these locations

A4-VTS VTEC solenoid
D6-VTM VTEC pressure switch
