Guys take a look at this, its the vtec solenoid or so i've been told, anyways its like jammed off or something, its broken, its just the little vlave that hooks up to it, i dont have vtec now, u guys know how to fix it, if i can just buy the little valve that's broken or i have to buy the entire thing, how much $$, any info would be appreciated.

 

If i wanted to clean the screen in my vtec solenoid would i have to replace the gasket or permatex or whatever it is or would i be cool to just put it right back on? and to help you out AdamQ3B85...try a junk yard....any vtec solenoid off of any vtec car should work i think...but i'm not real sure....

i am also curious about this...is it true?

 

would some one with a B16, B18C1, B18C5, and H22A...take a close up, focused pic of their VTEC solenoid....it would probably help out.....

 

had a z6 and a b16 they switch back and forth.. pretty sure they work with others...

 

what about my question with the screen cleaning and the gasket? anyone know?

 

no... gasket required.. just use old one.. and dont torque when hot.. i broke the studs before.. had to tap it out...

yeah, that's the worst...remember to hand tighten

 

i've got a vtec solenoid for sale that would work...the same thing is wrong with the one i have but it didn't break completely off....

 

well are ya? if not then i won't post pix of it....
