was drving the R the other day and it wouldnt hit vtec so i checked the oil and saw that it was a little low and added a quart. Got in drove it and ok every thing seemed fine v-tec was as smooth as before but now when my car isnt warmed up it wont hit v-tec but as soon as it is warmed up it will. Can anyone tell me why this is happening?

better now

um.. you have to wait till your car is warm for vtec to work.

 

OUch ouch ouch...poor R

 

I'd say!

 

LOL, yeah. judging from that single post.. it seems like he molests his ITR

edit: maybe thats why his sn is 1slowassR lol.

It is not good what you doing to your R.
You need to let the engine to warm up to its proper operation temperature.
The ecu won't let the engine hit vtec until it reaches the right temperature.
It is designed like that to protect your engine.
If you are one of those drivers that get into their cars and start it and go, you should take at least five minutes to warm up the engine.

Peace.

 

let the car warm up..

what i do, first warm the car, then drive it for at least 2-5 miles before i start to push it..

 

i agree with you on that one!

 

I have to agree. I used to beat the **** out of my car but always waited until it was warm ( well ok I'm sure a few times I didn't, but ). Now I just never rev above 4000rpm, that way I wont miss the mad power y0! when I start driving a civic

 

Maybe too he was driving the 'other' R. The one in his sig.

 

Ok too all of you that are sayin that i probably beat on my car that is not the case i wash it once a week and take the best of care of it that i can. Obiously if i didnt warm my car up to operating temp every time i drove it i would have asked this question months ago when i first got the car, but since im asking now you can easily come to the conclusion that i warm my car up.

Today i just realized it because i didnt have a chance to warm it up and was in a fat *** rush to get to work so i obviously had to drive faster than normal and that is why i noticed the problem. But now i know its not a problem just keep doin what i was doin and thats let the car warm up.

O yeah i have one more question not related to my car why is my thing stuck aat 49 posts i had like 400 or something then all of a sudden when i changed my sig and got up to 49 it quit going up

 

o wait there it goes

for my retarded ***

 

Guy's it isn't a ITR. It's a GS Type-R conv. lol

Let the car idle for a while.

 

The reason why i put that **** in my sig is because some dumb ho drives up next to me in a 240 and is like and I quote "that isnt a real type r, it dosent have the stickers". So i guess since i dont have the stickers my suspension gearing and compression all changed because you all know that stickers are what make the type r so great and unique and also why it carried a 27 thousand dollar price tag.

 

Jesus somone read my post and say something to me about all the spelling errors i guess typing that **** stoned wasnt the best idea obiously hahaha once again my stupidity rears its evil head.

 

my V-TEC doesnt work either. My VTEC does though.

 

I did that ONCE and will never do it again. I hurt my baby and it punished me by blowing its tranny
