what were you doing when it happened? or when did it happen

 

nothing just my daily driver and i have not been hitting vtec in it trying to save gas and keep it under 5 grand so idk maybe it is time to change the oil or something been 4000 miles but i use mobile 1 clean 5000 so idk

 

i read on here that it could be the clutch fuse anybody know bout that

 

help

 

hi, i dont noe if i am right, i have a 98 ex also, and it is hard to recognize vtec due to that we have a sohc vtec, you can barely hear it engage. try to hit vtec more often, and maybe you can eventually hear it, it took me a long while, and i still can barely hear it engage, if you want your vtec loud, you can try a short ram intake, or swap the engine for a bseries (which i am going to do hopefully soon), they have dohc vtec, alot louder.

 

I think his question is why is it not working.

 

i had the same motor in my 99 ex and I didn't ever feel it so how do you know that it isn't working???? but now I got m b18c1 and you can really feel the vtec engage especially with a chipped ecu!

 

well my engine was one of the only sohc engines i have been able to feel it and here it .. some people think i have a b16 when i race someone ... it has stock cams and everything..idk i am going to change my oil and see if that will work it has been a while i am also going to ge my friend to take a look at it and i might clean the filter thing in the vtec siliniod

 

clean the filter screen in the vtec solonoid

x2 and start changing your oil more often, or switch what kind your using. When is the last time you changed your oil filter?? what that doesnt catch will go to the screen by your vtec solenoid
