1) I bought my car with the vtec not working.
2) The check engine light was on, at the same time I did my gsr dash swap and the check engine light dissapeared on my new cluster (wiring fault)
3) It turns out that my O2 sensor was completely gone so I replaced that, they say thats the reason of the light coming on...

NOW

To get my vtec working I attached a wire to the + battery side and touched the single vtec solenoid plug pin....it clicked meaning it's not dead.
I then took it apart, cleaned it, put my oil to full, let my car heat up...Still NOTHING.

What's going on? Would the check engine light be on because of something like this? I might run a light from my solenoid inside and it should go on if it turns on. I can't hear the cross over at all. Its a stock D16z6 and I can't hear or feel it.

Sounds normal to me.

How do you know it's not working (aside from the aforementioned symptoms)?

 

Sweet I saw that before but I had trouble finding it again!

The thing is I don't know for sure that it's not working, I probably just expected too much from a SOHC vtec
