ok i just bought this car for $600 with f22b vtec, it has its things, first one is, when i give it full gas its only goes to 45000rpm and sputters, doesn't even hit vtec the solenoid is connected, could it be that it doesn't have the f22 vtec ecu? how do i know if it is the f22 vtec ecu? and second, my brakes, it throws the abs light, checked fusses and relays, all good, what can that be, thanks?

 

f22b is the stock engine(none vtec) on the dx/lx... What do you mean its swaped? the f22a is the vtec version which says vtec on the valve cover which is in the ex

 

What F22 is swapped in?
F22A1-6 = SOHC Non VTEC
F22B1 = SOHC VTEC
F22B2 = SOHC Non VTEC

The P0A is the OBD1 F22B1 VTEC ECU and the P0H is the OBD2 F22B1 VTEC ECU. The F22B1 hits VTEC well before 4500 rpm. It's VTEC range is in the 2300-3200 rpm range.

Is your check engine light coming on at all?

As for your ABS. You are going to have to get the ABS code retrieved from your computer in order to know what it is. It could be any number of things.

All the USDM F22A engines are Non VTEC. It is the F22B1 that is the VTEC engine. You are correct about it being in the EX and having VTEC on the valve cover though.

 

i heard that the f22 vtech comes only in some 2000 models thats why, well the block says f22b the head i don't know, its the f22 vtec it has the solenoid its connected, and its not just a phony hook up. checked it out, runs all the way thru the wire harness, haven't checked inside to the ecu, how can i check if its even working? can i get a wiring diagram for the ecu or something, ill look into the ecu see if its the f22 vtec ecu. one more question, how do i know if its f22b1 block or f22b2 block? i guess they just threw the vtec head on there

 

well then im guessing its the stock block cuz the block says f22b and the head well it has the vtec valve cover and it has the vtec solenoid on it

 

You were missinformed. The F series 2.2L VTEC (USDM F22B1) is available from 94-97, 98-02 is the 2.3L F series VTEC (F23A1)

It could be a JDM block. USDM blocks are stamped F22B1 for VTEC & F22B2 for Non VTEC.

There are a few free sources online for a PDF CD7-CD9 Honda Accord shop manual. If you search on google you should be able to find one.

The 94-97 2.2L F series JDM blocks are all stamped F22B;
How to tell them apart;
F22B SOHC VTEC (single cam with VTEC written on the valve cover)
F22B = SOHC Non VTEC (single cam no VTEC written on the valve cover)
F22B = DOHC Non VTEC (obviously has two camshafts with no VTEC written on the valve cover)

 

did the swap in my 92 accord. the 4.5k sputtering is due to not having the correct (P0A, i believe) ecu.
