I'm new to this website, read alot of tech talk on here and heard alot about this website. I'm new to Hondas, i just sold my 95 Mustang GT still miss it but i'm starting to like my civic. I bought a 99 civic si, and looking under the hood i notice my vtec solenoid doesn't look right..like i said im new so i don't know what any of these parts are. But there is a wire that is barely even connected to the solenoid. Is there something i need to get to connect it or is it just broken? Right now its just layin in the square part of the solenoid. Sorry for the lame description!

 

a pic might help

 

i'll get pictures soon enough, car is in a shop right now getting fixed!

It's the dps ground wire im pretty sure, i got that off google. The wire on my car is black though, and i dont have the little cover over the solenoid. So im guessing all i need to do is get that cover and everything should be ok? The wire is just barely touching the solenoid. If i get the cover, is there something in the cover that will hold it in place?
