I own a 2002 RSX 5 speed manual. The car is not revving past 4000 RPM (limp mode?). The codes are a P1298 (V-tec malfunction) and ELD--electronic load detector. I inspected the oil pan and there was a dent right where the pick-up is located. I have since replaced the oil pan--the car ran well for 24 hours before going into limp-mode again. The CEL came on just as I was making a hard right turn which makes me think this is still an oil pressure issue. Can a bad ELD cause Vtec malfunction? Does anyone think this is still an oil pressure issue?

 

check you oil level............you are most likly 2 quarts low, the motor is in limp mode. Veeetack no work with low oil pressure.

 

Sounds right to me

 

Yes and yes.

 

werid when my car had almost no oil it rev pass 4k i could redline it.
