it used to sound fine and kick in hard, but I just got it back form the shop and they redid my brake and fuel lines and now whenever it kicks in it dosn't as hard and I hear a wierd sort of grinding rattling noise coming from my gauges or something far back in the engine bay, its very odd...

 

take it back to shop and be like wtf fix this ****

 

but what they worked on has nothing to do with the vtec so i dont see how they could have done anything to it

 

they could have bumped something wrong and [freak]ed it up

 

you said they worked on the fuel lines.. that could play a part in your vtec.

 

yea my fuel hard lines and brake lines under the car were all rusted to hell and they re did them

 

you may be running lean??

 

it sounds more like its coming from the dash or the gauges or something

 

check your vtec fluid

 

oh of course why didnt i think of that! lol

 

what kinda noob never heard of vtec fluid??

lol j/k

 

man thats the thing i looked all over the car and couldnt find the vtec fluid resevior....

hahaha

lol i'm going to start hitting noobs with that lol.

 

Maybe the techs at the shop took your ride for a joyride and mashed on your car a little too hard and broke your "VTEC". That way you can take your car back to them and say, please fix this for me and you end up putting more money in their pockets.
