i pulled the seloniod off and cleaned it and found aluminum shavings......but everything seems fine. no knocking or noise from motor???????......vtec tries to engage and will when its below operating temp.(vtec controler). but when it gets warm it like sputters in and out of vtec???? so the real questin is where did that metal come from??? i changed the oil/filter imeadiatly and found nothing anywhere else????? does that mean its comig from the head somewhere???

is your oil at the proper level? Do you have a dented oil pan?

 

my oil pan is dented a bit and yes it is at the propper level. what would that have to do with anything?

 

how bad is the dent?

Well I was going to go into more detail, however since I obviously must not have a reason to ask those questions, do a little reading and search next time.

Are you using a JDM ecu, or one that is set to ignore VTP?

 

my ecu is a jdm p13 and i am running a vtec conrtoller

 

the dent isnt too bad. i was just going to go with it because its been like that for a while and has never caused any problems for me.

 

Did you have issues prior to installing the Vtec Controler?

 

ive had the vafc ever since i put the motor in so im not sure.

 

Im not sure exactly how a VFAC wires up, but have you done the Oil Pressure Bypass on the car. That will eleminate that.

it wont take much. i went threw the same prob my oil pan was alittle dented and no vtec. but change the pan. i went threw wiring ecu everything it ended up being the thing i never thought it would be. the oil pan.
