I have a 1997 honda civic ex. My vtech stopped engaging a little while back. Could anyone help walk me through trying to find out why? Tell me if theres any way to maybe test things with a multimeter?

 

In before "vtech is 4 fones, bro omg"

OP....why do you think it isn't working? Is there a check engine light?

 

How do you know if your vtec stopped working?

 

used to i could feel it when I'd hit high rpms. I always considered that what people always called it "cracking" now i dont feel it anymore. Im not too great with engines and **** so maybe it is engaging and I just dont know any better

 

You don't feel anything, you can hear the crossover.

 

no nothing at all. I used to could feel and hear it but now nothing at all. I know the engine has to be warmed up before it will engage or whatever you call it. Or at least thats what I've read on here

 

vtec solenoid= oil pressure switch. if it is actually not working, there are two basic possibilities. low engine oil pressure, or a clogged screen on it. this, of course assumes there are no CEL's
