Ok, maybe the last post was vague, but I'm still throwing CEL 21 and 22. I didn't have the wire to the vtec solenoid hooked up, so I figured it would stop throwing these codes when I hooked it up, but no. Anyone have any suggestions?

 

errrrrrrr TTT

 

After you hooked up your VTEC wires did you restart your ecu (thats how youll get ried of the code)? If yes then take off the VTEC solenoid (sp?) and spray some carb cleaner in it and clean off the screen and try it again. If still nothing (and everythings wired up right) then you might need a new solenoid.

 

Well there was no screen in it.....

Reset ecu = pull ecu fuse in fuse box when car is off for 10 seconds?

 

You need to pull the 7.5A radio backup fuse.

 

I just disconnect the Neg. Batt for 10 seconds when i restart my ecu.

Same, its pretty easy. 10mm socket and done.

 

try swithing the wires i think you got the wires crossed.. like i did before... always reset the ecu

 

Dude its 1 wire.....

 

Ok I just reset the ecu, now im throwing code 22 only...

 

You have enough oil in the car right?

 

Yea positive.

 

TTVT

Oil level is just below the high dot.

i'm sure it is 2.. solenoid is 1

one on a4 and one on d6 i believe

 

I'm still throwing code 22..... 21 is gone. I replaced the solenoid from my d15b with the one from my VX, but it still throws 22. Do I need to swap out the lower half? Also, the lower half doesnt have a port for a plug like in some diagrams I've seen. Any ideas?

 

UP UP UP

 

Whenever you do something are you resetting the ecu? Because you could have fixed it but not know because of that. Also if your going to swap VTEC Solenoids swap the whole thing, top and bottom.

 

Grab a digital multimeter and do a continuity check on D6 and the Blu/Blk wire on the pressure switch.

make sure the thermostat ground is also properly connected.

 

I would try replacing the v-tec solenoid gasket. I think it is like $14 at Honda. Even if it does not solve the problem, although it did in my case, it is good to replace if you had the solenoid off a few times.

 

Ummm, you mean the o-ring right? Mine shouldn't be bad, I reapply it with hondabond every time.
