I just put together my ls/vtec set up. i put a new valve train in with stock cams and everytime i hit vtec in 3rd gear i get a "VTEC pressure valve" code. the code came up on my first vtec solenoid and i changed the solenoid and now the code is still popping up with the new vtec solenoid. i was wondering if this happen to anybody and what did they do to solve the problem.

 

What ecu are you running ?
What vtec solenoid are you running (jdm or usdm) ?

 

What code number?

 

its a chipped p28

 

the original solenoid was us and i replaced it with jdm and still getting the same result

 

code 22

A jdm solenoid does not have a vtec pressure switch.
Bypass the vtec pressure switch per the instructions on http://www.phearable.net/tech

 

which link do i click on for directions. also which switch is the oil pressure switch on the solenoid the green or the gray switch?

 

FOSHO!! Bookmarked!

Click on "How to bypass vtec oil pressure switch"

 

thank you very much for your info one more question i know the jdm solenoid doesn't have a oil pressure switch so you mean when the code came up for the usdm solenoid does that mean my usdm solenoids oil pressure switch wasn't working?
