Ok i have a 94 accord with f22b1 i had vtec but then i lost it after i used sea foam to fix an idling problem the problem was fixed and now i have no vtec ive changed my oil and filter ive checked all the wires and i have power where i need it and even replaced the thermostat withstill no luck.... anyone help me?

 

Does in not go bwahahahaaaaa?

Because the B1's don't have mad VTEC for maximum racing performance.

 

Yea i know that its not anything amazing but it dont kick at all and its really sluggish now
I also dont have any cel codes

 

if you have no vtec the car won't redline...so try taking it to redline..if it redlines you still have vtec

 

It don't i hit my rev limiter at 7000 but b4 when my vtec worked it was only letting my hit like 6200

 

Anyone any idea?
Ive cleaned the screen on the solenoid. Tried a new pressure switch with a known working one. Tried changing the top hat thing nothing. The piston moves up and down freely. I havr power to everything i need to have power to.
Im lost on what to try...

 

Seriously, you won't be able to even really tell a difference. If your revlimiter goes that high, its working.

 

Well then if it was working then when i unplugged the pressure the pressure switch there would have been a difference and there wasnt

 

If its not throwing a code and it revs to 7K its working.

 

Believe me or not. But Accord's have multi stage VTEC that is solely based around gas mileage on stock tunes. With an F22B1 you will not really hear it, nor feel it without a tune. Its a fact, like I said. If there is no code, and it rev's just fine to limit then its working, just because your butt-dyno can't feel it doesn't mean it isn't engaging properly.

 

Its not that i dont believe u its just before the sea foam was put in u could hear it kick now its nothing and ive even took a video and then listened to it then watched a YouTube video of a stock f22b1 and u can tell in there video

 

im sorry but you're just imagining it

 

I do see were y'all are coming from I really do and I understand that VTEC isn't anything amazing in my car but its not there it has no power after 4 grand when it was supposed to kick in before the sea foam u could tell when it kicked in you could hear it and feel it. Now its nothing I just don't get what that sea foam could have done and I didn't do anything other then exhaust

 

do a compression test and see if you may have damaged the motor when you seafoamed it..it's possible

 

I will say that on my 94 EX (F22B1) I can definitely feel the VTEC open in first and second gears. In 3rd and 4th, not so much. It comes in around 3500 and revs to around 6000. Once I was working on the distributor I accidentally and left the smaller socket unplugged and I could really tell a difference without the VTEC. Of course it threw a code as well. I am thinking that if I had a regrind cam that added more lift to the non-VTEC cam lobes, then the difference would not be as apparent and perhaps the performance below 3500 would improve. Of course mileage would probably get worse.

 

 

I'll try that otherwise I'm all out of ideas other then I was messing around the other day and pulled off my dizzy cap and there was Some oil in it.... would that make a difference?

 

oil in the distributor can make the ignitor go bad as well as the coil and the sensors...might be best to pull a used distributor from the junkyard and swap a new NOX seal into it before installing it

info on how to replace the inner distributor seal in the faq's sticky at the top of this forum

 

I actually got lucky and found one that I had form my last motor but I haven't got to check the compression or anything yet

 

Kids these days....

 

Got dat syck vtak in my accord kick'd in yo.

 

Well if I'm so much of a kid then why isn't my car running right then?

 

What do you want from us ? Do you want us to just agree that your vtec isn't working if we actually do think it's fine? You tell us what you want and we will just go along with it instead of actually giving you honest opinions.
