DAMN, I was driving on da freeway and took the RPm paseed 5200, but it didnt seem like that the V-TEC kicked in, I have a JDM B16A1 what could be the problem? If anyone knows why please help me, Oh yah I didn do a search before I posted this and I couldn't find any simillar topic

 

Does your car rev to 8k? if so vtec is hitting, and codes?

 

Vtec Doesnt kick in on my car when it is not warmed up.

 

yea, are there any codes? did you even hear a slight noise of the vtec kicking in?

 

Yea my car does rev up to 8000rmp. The Ecu does give a code 1 long blink and seven short once, indicating the Speed Sensor, and I do let my car warm up before I drive it. It seems like the car is struggling a lil bit for speed and bogs a lil to. Then it picks up speed and starts to do the same thing again. Any I deas ?

 

1. It's VTEC not V-Tec, look at your valve cover.

2. Make sure your speed sensor is plugged in right where it meets the tranny.

 

EL, its V-TEC, like I said before the speed sensor is a lil bit loose I guess it comes out when I drive the car, I gotta figure out a way to fix that

LOL!!! Do me a favor, go outside and take a pic of your stock valve cover and then post it on here.

 

FYI: That is a 'before' pic of my engine bay. Its not nasty anymore.

Again, notice how it says VTEC and not V-TEC???

 

I think some people just like to add a dash and extra letters to some words that they dont understand. Kinda funny IMO. h-onda ci-vic ?

must have been like some 20W stuff.

Changing oil types does NOT make any noticable preformance gains

i drove around my car without a VSS and vtec didnt kick in, nor did the car run right.

 

Hatchbox. I ham having the same proble right now, no VSS no, V-TEC and runs like ****. so you sayin, If I fix my VSS the other problems will get fixed as well?

 

Does your speedometer work?

 

v-tec will never work because there is no such thing.

however, if you fix your VSS and there are no other codes, VTEC will work.

 

Patch, no my speedometer DOSE'T work so I cant tell how fast Iam driving lol, Iam hoping by getting this fixed the VTEC with work and the car will run like the way its suppose to run

 

yeah i cant tell how fast im goin either, and my vtec doesnt engage either. just did the swap bout a week ago and my friend tried to combine my hf plug wit the b16 and my speedometer dont work. but hey i used to drive a hyundi wagon wit NO TACH in the cluster and the speedometer didnt work either HAHAHA...

 

without the VSS there is no signal from the tranny, So the ecu has no idea what is going on. So its not going to run right. Just go to a junkyard and pick up a speedometer cable

The JDM motor probally came with a electronic VSS. no problem, for a quick fix unbolt the top of the vss, (the plug) 2 10mm bolts. and stick the vss cord down into the VSS it should fit right in there.
