hello guys I have a problem.....I have a B18c5 with a re-chipped p-28 in my teg. the other day i was running my car pretty hard and the car bogged at about 6k rpm....I checked the code since the CEL is on and it threw a 22

well anyways ever since after that when ever i floor the car v-tec will kick in at 5.5k like its suppose to and then it shuts off (like it feels like the car bogs) and the it reactivates........how do i fix this? what is wrong sorry for the long explanation but i know you guys can helo and Thanks in advance for reading and helping me out

I think that code is for the vtec oil pressure switch.

First thing that comes to mind is Oil Pressure.

yea code 22 is oil pressure but i was wondering what i can do to fix this problem

how'd u make out?

Black_eh2

me too have same problem

I have the same problem too.. I changed all the vtec stuff. both the switch, and the soleniod.. i even changed the housing with the plunger.. none of that stuff worked.. . im gonna open up my head tomorrow, and also check the oil pump. hopefully that fixes the prob..

damn, i ordered the gaskets this week. I was gonna try replacing them adn cleaning the solenoid first. You said that didnt fix your problem? My car also has bad hesistation under 5k rpm? Do you guys have anything like this? I am curious if its related or not. I am tired of reseting my ecu every 2 hrs, only to get an hour of driving out of it. Weird thing is.... i ordered the gaskets to fix a leak, then missed a gear racing a corvette, then got code 22, in that order. I really hope i didnt **** something up.

Why does it seem like there is **** for help on here anymore?? I have been having the same problems with my car for over a month now, and cant get one bit of feasible advice since its not about GF problems or what rims to get.

Well as for your code, its not VTEC related. You are losing oil pressure somehow, try stopping the leak you described first, this could be the source. If your ECU throws a code, it automatically crosses over into limp-home mode, disabling your VTEC and severely limiting your power output. Plain and simple, your VTEC isn't working becuase of an oil pressure problem, your ecu is trying to save your engine. So do some homework, check for leaks, and be sure and check the oil pump. Also, are you running an aftermarket air intake?

i'm running an after market intake.. what does that do?? ne way.. i'm gonna check the oil control orifice today.. i'll keep everyone posted..
