so heres how it is, after 3rd gear i throw a cel and loose all power, its code 22 vtec oil pressure switch. i can rev the bag off it it all first 3 gears but as soon as i hit 4th itll throw and the car falls on its face. ive tested/checked all the wires to my switch and my solenoid they are all fine, all with 12vs, all my grounds are tight and good, i even put a new ground in from my solenoid to main, i checked the oil level its topped off and always was, checked my oil pressure everything is fine there, bypassed the pressure switch in my tuning program crome, so dont say connect a4 and d6 cause i already heard it all and im not doing that. i have a fully built all motor h22a. does anyone out there have any other ideas for me? im so sick of this happening. my only other options are change my switch and solenoid, but its all freshly built and motor only has about 8000k on it i cant see the solenoid being bad at all.

 

Do you have a log from a pull that it throws the code?

Tried a different switch?

 

well if your going to ask for help dont be a dick. when people tell you to bridge a4 and d6 is for a reason when you delete the vtec oil pressure with crome it dont work all it does is makes your car run on the second map as if vtec was on. so trying splicing d6 into a4 1st. if that dont work check if your oil pan if it is smashed, sometimes when it is smashed the oil sump cant pick up oil thus causing no oil presure to lock the vtec rocker assembly

 

the crome vtec pressure disable feature does not work properly. From my experience 9/10 times it keeps the car from setting a code and it allows vtec to work but the fuel/timing maps never switch from low cam to high cam.

the way to go is short a4-d6 and build a new basemap in crome without the vtp disable activated.

This is of course assuming that you don't actually have a oil pressure problem. try removing the vtec solenoid and check the screen. It may be partially plugged up and the pressure might take a while to start dropping. If the screen is clear I would recommend putting a gauge on the oil pressure and watch it as you make a pull in 4th gear to make sure the pressure isn't dropping

so if i bridge a4 and d6 together, i will throw codes 21,22 ive tried this long ago as the engine light stays on all the time, is this because my pressure switch is still plugged in and needs to be unpluged when doing this bridge?
also im 7 hours away from the dyno so if i did do this bridge while my vtp is disabled in crome will it still work?

 

no because when tuning we only did 3rd gear pulls, this light only happens in 4th gear, and no i havent tried a different switch but it seems to be working fine theres no corrosion on the metal and i have 12vs at the switch.

 

oil pan seems to be fine no dints, dings, when bridging a4, d6 do i leave the pressure switch unplugged? as if not it throws codes 21,22

 

Un plug the switch when you are trying to do the trick.

 

and leave it unplugged?

 

Yes, leave the vtec pressure switch unplugged & complete the "trick".

 

ok but! since i have the vtp disabled in crome, is this gonna effects the way this "trick" works?

 

dude dont use that map its corrupted start another one

 

its kinda late for that dyno is 6 hours away

 

bump!
