I havent checked the solenoid.. But i know that could be one possible problems, my question is if i have a gsr vtec solenoid on a b16 engine would that cause problems? I would like to know because my buddy said that you could do that and he found a great deal on one if it is the solenoid. It sounds pretty bogus to me

Also if my speedo likes to go crazy sometimes i shuold check the VSS right? It just randomly goes from like 0-120 sometimes idk why

 

buimp

 

yea the VSS is the culpret there. and the v tec solenoid is fine. how do you know your not hitting vtec. do you have any CEL reguards to vtec

 

check knock sensor wires, or even the knock sensor itself.

 

i dont hear it kick in at all. it just doesnt even sound like anything anymore.. thats how i can tell.. no theres no cel. but i know for a fact theres no vtec it usually sounds very loud and i dont hear anything but the rpms raising lol..
Is there any way i can use a gsr solenoid on the b16? or i NEED a b16 solenoid on it

 

bump

 

tttt need help!!!

 

hmm.. a b16 solenoid is fine on a gsr.. speeedo going crazy.. yea check your vss.. vss can affect vtec..

 

i meant a gsr solenoid on a b16 is fine..

 

well im getting a jdm b16 solenoid with the VSS for 70 so if that doesnt solve my problem idk what will... Also my idle seems to be a little weird sometimes. it sounds like it just wants to die sometimes, should i get a new tps? or just try cleaning out the IACV

 

try the iacv.. take it off and take some carb cleaner to it. clean the screen too..

 

thanks for all the help.. im going to try cleaning out the iacv and the fitv when its sunny out but im deff gonna have to get a new solenoid

 

well the idles gone, and i cleaned the vtec solenoid and everytthing... Turns out im leaking/burning oil. I check my dipstick as a last resort and theres nothing, and i changed it about a month ago.. Doesn anyone know where a common oil leak would be? I dont think i would be burning oil because its a relativley new engine, and it doesnt smoke, or feel that its less power. If it is an oil leak, it wont be too expensive right? Im also going to run a compression test just to make sure im not burning oil or anything like that.. If its low in any cylinders im F'ed for life

 

ok i gotta change the drain plug.. but i cant hit vtec still because my speedo goes crazy.. i checked the VSS and its not loose or anything so idk wat to do
