my vtec in my 96 turbo gsr quit working i have probed the 3 wires for the lift solenoid and oil pressure switch and the wires proper continuity i have also ran constant power to the vtec and it did engage but not tuned for it so dont wanna run it that way, i also have proper oil pressure i have 70 psi at cold idle and 80psi at 4000 rpm when warm so there is more than enough oil pressure, its been all summer without it and want it back

 

Do you have a CEL? Maybe a knock sensor... or, there's a screen in the VTEC solenoid that acts as a filter, clean that out, put it back together and see how you make out.

 

i do have a check engine light pulling a code 22 for vtec malfunction, i did pull it off and cleaned it and still nothing and i dont have a knock sensor it broke and we tuned it without one and when we tuned it we had it but a couple weeks later it quit

 

i replaced the distribtor and still no vtec having a hard time with this i need some pointers

 

Does your speedo work? I have run into the problem that if the speedo doesn't work, the vtec wont engage. Even with everything else working perfect.

 

speedo works great im about tired of the probs with this car im about to just blow the motor or sell it but havent made a decision yet
