LS/vtec problems
Alright im not a noob at cars so i don't need stupid answers. Im looking for actual possible fixes for my car.
I have a 98 Integra with LS/vtec. I originally put the engine in the car and i get cel code 10 and cel code 22 on every cold start. So intake temperature i really dont care too much about buy another sensor and it should fix it. My problem lies with cel 22. I switched the vtec pressure switch with one off a working care and still throwing code 22.... On top of that after i drive on the highway for a while and get off when i come to a stop light the oil light starts blinking at idle..... and after the car warms up all check engine lights clear...
First i changed the oil pump figuring that could be the issue. I replaced the rod bearings when i did the oil pump. Got it all back together started it up went down the road and bam oil light starts blinking again. So i say **** it and go buy a b18b block figuring the b18a one i originally had was just old and could be screwed up inside. The b18b came out of a running car with no issues. Opened it up replace all bearing main and rod bearings and replaced with another oil pump. Reassembled everything again and it ran alright for about 2 weeks. But now the oil light is popping on again..
Honestly i am stumped..... I have taken the oil pan off 2 times in the past 2 weeks trying to see if anything is stuck to the sump and its clean. Taken off the vtec solenoid a few times as well and its a little dirty but nothing that should be making it throw a cel 22. I've replaced the oil pressure switch and i crimped down the plug for it as well so its tight fitment.
I know i should go buy an oil pressure gauge and im in the process of that but i just wanted to see if any of the tech heads could possibly steer me in a good direction and see what your opinion is on this matter...
Thanks for your help
