hi guys its me agian, still have got to the track but did a leak down test all ok but now i have aouther problem. my vtec is popping in and out of vtec at high rpms!!! my oil is good and water level is good also what do you guys think??

 

what did your leak down test say?

 

what RPM?

I got $100 that says you are hitting your rev limiter.

 

the shop who did it didn't give me much details all he said that the motor is in great shape and the rings have little blow by thats all. and the rpms that i was in are around 6000 rpm and i'm not hitting the rev limiter red lines at 9200 rpms i shift at 8500 rpms

 

another $100 gone

 

yeah i dont hear that much of a difference either...i hear its cuz mine is stock. will an intake improve the sound of VTEC?

9200 RPM? What's your setup?

 

Low on oil?

 

your making power at 9200? ..... .................whats your setup?

 

sounds like bad vtec solenoid

I doubt it, if it was faulty I doubt that it V-tec would ever hit. I would check the sensors first. Any CEL codes?

well i have no check eng. codes at all and my mods are cam gears,cat back exhaust and intake,fpr,free flow cat,skunk2 racing chip,act extrame 6 puck clutch. i also have good oil level. The reason for 9200 rpms is when i have cams and type r intake man. i can have the extra rpms to make power.

 

i actually meant to add that it could be a loose connection or bad wiring to the vtec solenoid.

 

connections is overheating maybe....

Slim chance thats your problem. Do you have the old ECU? Try putting it back in if you do.

on my gsr stock ecu and vtec setings:fine...use my skunk2 ecu with 5700 vtec..it stutters off and on sometimes when slowly climbing into vtec(3rd and 4th gear)...i'm thinking it's oil pressure..oil pump going out eventually..i've been reading up on this cuz i want NO MORE STUTTERING in VTEC! n-e-1 else got any ideas?

 

check your oil levels. thats the frst thing if you dont have enough oil it will do that

 

vtec solenoid could be going bad, its a little plunger and if its not got enough pressure behind it in theroy it could be beign pushed back.....

 

vtec ground
cold motor
no oil pressure

 

well now i got a code 22 vtec pressure switch today how much does it cost for one ???? man this sucks

 

take off ur v-tec solinoid and check in side..there is a little filter in there clean it out...
