Alright..about a year ago my ek was in a accident the body was totald but my motor was not.. so i got a diffrent car and the motor kinda acts up, when i turn the car on it idels wierd, the transmission makes a whinning noise when in gear and i releaze the gas pedal, and When i go up to 6k rpm's the vtec dosnt kick in like i use to..


any ideas

 

doesnt kick in like it used to? so it works? or it doesnt?

 

same problem here, it doesnt kick in as it used to on my B16 and starting to happen in my B18C5....

could it be oil pressure, or oil amount??

 

have you checked your particulate strainer for your vtec solenoid? check it for debris which would impare proper oil pressure and volume from reaching the valvetrain so it can function properly. do not use any petrolium based cleaners on the Oring assy. or it will damage the part

 

might want to check oil, oil pressure or vtec solenoid. and this is the type r forum go ask that question on all motor or hybrids

 

If the sensor are bad the CEL will go on!!! I don't think that are the sensors. Remove the air filter and drive the car ,in this way you will hear more cleary the vtec. That's will help you to know if the vtec works corectly.

 

would a bad fuel pump cause the car to chocke at high rpms.. right now i have a stock d16 fuel pump.. im telling you before the accident the motor was running perfectly

 

lol how am i the first one to say this.....Wrong thread
check your oil...my friends civic with a b16 swap did the SAME thing the other day

 

yo i askd here because its the same motor that ITR's have, and check what oil ??

 

your motor oil. ive had the same problem.. then after my oil change it was back to normal.

 

you have to check your Vtec oil, just unscrew the vtec solenoid with a pair of vise grips and check the fliud level. it might be really tight so you should prolly use a cheater pipe on the handle. good luck......GFKY!

 

No Vtec yo :[

Definitely check your oil, like these guys are saying.

 

alright thanks for the info

 

bad ground??

 

You might want to try swapping out the oil filter while you get ur oil change and try one from a K series onto your b series vtec block. What this does is increase oil pressure and reduces the bogging out that some people experience with vtec ingagement. A higher oil pressure + sufficient oil level = a well oiled head for more reliable vtec.

 

^ that is if you figure out the problem first, unless this does the job. Just a suggestion, a trick i picked up from a buddy.

 

wow.....check the sig....

 

not againnnnn

 

lol.....some of you guys crack me up...you have one of the most sought after cars in the Honda/Acura in the U.S......one of the only things you need to regularly do to maintain your motor is change to oil....its what $30-40? if your using good oil maybe $50-60....

vtec NEEDS oil to function....vtec powers the high end of your motor, without it, you may as well be driving a stock LS that is running like ****....lol


CHANGE YOUR OIL!

 

well MR. Bad *** its not the oil cause i checked it. it was my fuel pump what the car did was choke at the time vtec kicked in. im guessing a stock pump isnt good enough for a type r and it also did the same thing witht the b16 that i had but it choked at low rpms

 

lol...damn right...Mr.Bad ***....

im not talking about your particular problem there Chuck Norris....im saying in general, some people neglect to change there oil..... so dont be so quick to judo chop....

 

i've never heard of a k series oil filter on a b series motor. Are all k series oil filters the same? Does this actually work? sounds interesting..

 

im pretty sure that all k series filters are the same, but first check with the dealers just to be 100% sure. This method does work.
