just bought a 96 del sol and was running good vtec was kicking good its a d16z6...i installed an oil gauge so i took off the oil sending unit and the plug with the 2 wires that went into it to install the oil gauge. Im thinkin that the oil sending unit and the 2 wires that go to it have to be hooked up for the vtec to work cuz i know the vtec has to have the right amount of oil pressure to kick in..Am i right do i need to hook it back up or am i wrong. I can buy a T and hook both up right?????

 

well if i was you i would buy a sandwich plate, and run the gauge off of there

 

no answers

 

is that really the BEST place to put an oil pressure guage?

and no google at your house?

 

Are you actually seeing a check engine light come on around 4.8k or so when VTEC kicks in, or do you just not feel it "kick" anymore?

I think you put it on the VTEC pressure switch. I think most people use the oil pressure sending unitbon the back if the block. Yes your VTEC will not work if you do not have the VTEC pressure switch hooked up.

 

i just bought a tee and hooked gauge up to it and my oil sending unit thanks for the help tho
