Very long story short, 1994 del sol b16 swap, swapped out my broken down b16 trans for another b16 trans out of a 2000 si.

The vss looked different on the new one, but I figured since it had the same plug it would opperate the same. Well I'm throwing a vtec code and what a coincidence, I have no vtec. Guess I was wrong.

I'm assuming I need to go back to the obd1 type sensor. Any chance someone knows the part # off hand?

I'm not crazy thinking this is problem am I?

 

they work the same. make sure the pins on the VSS aren't corroded.

 

Dammit. I was really hoping that was the issue seeing as they looked completely different. Now that I think about it though I would be experiencing speedo issues if that were the case would I not?

 

Yep. The VSSes do operate the same though, I've swapped one for the other lots of times.

 

Thanks you two.

Just found out my tps is bad, so maybe thats the culprit behind this vtec issue.
