hmm.. well theres a lack of info here

 

okay well pulled the head out to do some work on it.... put it back on. Then I had a OBD1 dx ecu because i let a friend use my skunk P28. Just got the P28 back and floored it..... and nothing. It just redlined to 8 and i didnt even hear VTEC at all or even feel. The car felt like it was struggling going to 8.... now anyone?

 

Did you just plug it in and go? or did you give it time to, I wanna say, boot-up, but something like that?

 

too little info still....

if you are part of HART shouldn't you know what you are doing?

 

90% of time, when people say they're VTEC isnt working, they are low on oil...
Did you check your oil level??? Vtec can' t work without it...

 

Yeah i am really good on oil... and no i didnt just plug it in and go. I gave it lots and lots of time. So i really dont know....

 

That is some bogusness

 

There is a oil filter screen (in the head?) to protect the Vtec components, if the screen is clogged there won't be enough oil pressure to make the VTEC work.

Also check the VTEC solinoids. GL

 

cels?

Did you let the car warm up? It won't go into Vtec till its warmed up.

Did you plug everything back up?

Check your grounds by your Vtec Pressure Sensor, and solenoids.

 

Yeah car was warmed up... i dont know but for some reason i think its the VTEC solenoids.... THX guys for the help... anymore opinions?

 

BUMP

 

Goddamn .

What EXACTLY did you do to the head, are there any CELs and what makes you think it's the VTEC solenoid.

Give us information and we'll help you.

 

What is CEL?

First of all your an idiot. Did you even read what Archidictus wrote??? what exactly was done to the head? and you should even be working on a car if you dont know what a Check Engine Light is.

Why dont you take it back to the place that pulled off your head in the first place and tell them it isnt working because it sounds like you shouldnt be touching it.

 

W3RD

 

Check the connections to your vtec solenoid (cylinder right by the distributor) I had my swap done and the clip came lose and i lost vtec so just check that first and if that doesn't work you might be low on oil and it can't build oil pressure.

 

okay well my CEL didnt come on at first. Found out that the VTEC solenoid gasket was blocked with gunk. Got a new gasket. VTEC worked perfect. Okay now I just came home from driving and now the CEL is on now and my VTEC doesnt work and it seems like the car is having a hard time getting to redline.

 

joelllll i

 

i say you take that gasket out and check again, clean that crap out

 

soooooooooooo, what codes are you spittin!! that isthe whole point of the CEL... so you can check the code and see what the problem is.

 

Im gonna go and get the CEL checked..... but everytime i turn the car off the CEL is gone, until i floor it to about 7000rpms. Then the CEL comes on.

 

autozone does cels right?engine codes and stuff like that

 

is the ecu chipped because maybe the chip got fried somehow or maybe the chip is all kinds of fucked up

 

get a new gasket
