how to fix this? i think this is the vtec code when i am at the top of 3rd the check eng light comes on and vtec cuts out i can tfigure out why i checked all the connections can anyone help with this
thanks
chris

 

check your oil level,
check your oil pressure,
check the VTEC solenoid gasket/screen,

This assumes all wiring is good.

 

i checked the oil level thats normal, the wires are connected but teh jack *** before me messed with the harness so i am gonna go behind him and soder(spelling) the connections to assure a good connection. i will check oil pressure and get a gasket to see if that solves the problem. what i dont understand is why only in 3rd why not 2nd or 1st
thanks bone

I'm not sure if the jdm gsr has a press. sensor on the vtec solenoid or not...assuming it does make sure your chipped p28 was chipped to work with the vtec pressure sensor (code 22). Assuming you did some of the wiring yourself make sure the press. sensor is grounded correctly.

 

I had this problem myself with a B16B swap. Since all JDM engines do not have VTEC Pressure Switches you have to have the ECU programmed to not look for it. The P28 can be made to do this. I just took and put a USDM pressure switch and solenoid housing on my engine and it fixed this problem. You can use the USDM switch and either the JDM or USDM solenoid. Good luck...Also Code 22 is for the VTEC pressure switch...

thanks for the answers

No I don't believe so.

 

it looks the same i will try tonight

 

i thought i remembered someone using the vtec solenoid off of a 92 VX on their b16 once..might as well try it chris!

 

i will asap damn i hope it works it will be a load off my shoulders those damn things are expensive from honda but whats cheap from honda i will keep everyone updated

 

keep us informed

 

nope i tried it in the dark i will try it again in the morning so there is still hope damn i hope this works.
again
all connections are fine
oil level is fine
oil pressure is fine
ecu i a rechipped p28 to mugen/skunk specs
please help me it only cuts out in 3rd when i wind out first and 2nd and cuts off in 4th when i downshift on the highway to 3rd and wind out third then 4th cuts out please help me i cant figure this out even the local honda pro is baffled
please help

it has 2 to be the oil pressure switch i had the same problem until i borrowed a switch from my friend then my car was all fine..... but i had 2 give it back now i gotta buy one from honda.....

 

im in the process of looking for a usdm vtec solenoid
someone anyone please help

You can try this one:

Cut the VTM Line (if there is one) and connect the VTM wire running to the ECU with the VTS wire. Add to this junction a 1k resistor to ground. (A screw near the ECU).

Here's a shematic:



I've done this some times in hybrid's and in my self made vtec controller. Works fine for me/us.

well today i put a single vtec switch on my B16a and it worked i hard 2 make the wires longer but my vtec is working hasnt cutt out on me yet

went 2 a dealer 2day they quoted me $206 for the usdm oil pressure assy. but my friend had a single pressure switch so i tried that first

 

sweet so it did work it just looks different with the switch coming out front plus it was dark when i was lookin at it
cool
thanks
chris

 

it does work i repeat it does work but i am still throwing a code still damn code 22 i will by a vtec gasket tomorrow and my oil level is fine
so wtf please help me out
thanks
chris

 

Swap woes. Some have no problems. Some have every weird issue under the sun. I hope it the gasket.

 

hey i also done a jdm b18c swap into my 5gen civic
im using the p72 ecu, and at high revs in 3rd this code also gets trigured.

 

i got teh sohc usdm vtec solenoid on there it works doenst cut out in third and the cel doesnt cut on but i jumped it and it still read 22
who the hell knows
but it workd for now

glad to hear it's working! make sure to pull your hazard fuse to reset the ecu and make sure no more codes pop up.

 

how do i do that
what fuse is it?
thanks
chris

 

under the hood 7.5 fuse or disconect the battery for 5 minutes.
