got the car running.
runs strong thru the entire RPM band...

until the CEL pops on, and the fuel cut is brought down to around 6200rpms.

CEL shows a code 22.

BUT, I have a fields VTEC controller that engages VTEC regardless.

checked to see if the VTEC Oil Pressure Switch was wired correctly... yep, going to D6 (P72 ECU).

Checked to see if it was getting a good ground... yep.

Checked resistance between the switch... yep!

Checked oil level... sound as a pound.

any ideas or should i just replace it with a known working sensor and try it again...or stick with the chipped ecu idea...?

 

replace the sensor

damn.

I was hoping there would be a "cheaper" solution.

 

i did all of the above and still nothing, im givin up and leavin it to a real mechanic, unless there are any other ideas, im cutting off at 6700 rpms too, i jus tried a used switch from a friends sohc and nuthin.

 

I get the same code too sometimes but I never had a problem reving up to 8k without cuttin out. Check the vafc, im going too, because they say that the blue wire might be lose.

 

You might want to try to clean the vtec solenoid out and see if that helps, if not I would replace the sensor with one you know that works well and see what happens.
