hi guys. seriously about to drive this car off a cliff. 96 accord converted to obd1 and vtec (doesnt fking work) ive added wires to a4 and d6. i unwrapped the engine harness and grounded the pressure switch to that battery even.. still getting fking code 22. what am i doing wrong? thanks in advanced for your responses. i appreciate the help

 

Silly question but do you have a VTEC ecu?

 

lol yeah. i took every thing out of my 94 ex coupe.. its all there.

 

And gone through this?

What's happening when you go to VTEC? Does it peg out and crap on you? Or does it continue to go but throw a CEL or what?

 

recheck your wiring

all the wiring is right.. it doesnt even activate. i start the car. its warm.. i hit the gas and it continues to not engage no change in exhaust note.

 

Now I will reiterate, the F22B1 really doesn't have the POP that VTEC has on like the S2000 or B16/B18. It's very very very subtle.

 

idk cause when this motor was in my coupe i could totally tell vtec was engaged i mean baaaa and baaawwwaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh are way different./.. the cel just comes on after about a minute of running so idk wtf is the deal.

 

the only thing the vtec does on on the f22b1 if i remember correctly is keep the intake valves open a bit longer...the exhaust is unchanged

 

Have you not flashed the CEL code yet to see what the problem is? I bet that tells you exactly what to fix......

 

 

Remember, the thermostat B connector also has a green connector just like the VTEC Pressure switch and so you can mix them up good. I did that on my H22 swap and three days later found out that it was backward and finally VTEC worked.

 

honestly just cut another harness same plug ran the wires for the pressure switch and its still throwing code 22. vtec pressure switch.. i changed it with another one. im still getting a code. the wires arent loose.. i grounded it to the battery. thats definatley a ground.. wth is going on with this??? everything worked fine until i swapped from the coupe to the sedan.

 

wouldnt it just have been easier and possibly cheaper to just buy an accord that already had vtec in it???

 

you changed the pressure switch?

you know code 22 can come on because of the clogged vtec filter screen under the solenoid.

i took this out of my coupe.. which was vtec. which ran fine. i swapped it into this sedan because i have a jdm f22b DOHC that im boosting.. so i want this sedan to run right either way. i dont need it since i have a del sol too but that gets lame to drive.

yes i changed the switch... but it definitely isn't clogged cause oil leaked out.. and it worked before i pulled it.. so really i have no idea. ill try unclogging it but any other suggestions?
