Ok finaly got my car to run after we turboed it but as we were driving, no vtec, it worked last year, but its not working this year and i cant figure out why, checked the wiriing again, looks good, please help, searched but found nothing about it just stop working... also its not throwing any codes

 

Check the solenoid perhaps?

 

does it not work at all or does it work intermittently....
disconnect ur solenoid..it might be completely clogged..also...check ur oil pressure...u might be really low...that could be especially dangerous for a turbo application...ground ur vtec to the chassis

 

it doesnt turn over at all, and no codes what so ever, also how do u clean it out if it is completely clogged, and yea i got to ground it to the chassis def.

 

i just shoot it with brake cleaner...dont know if there is a right way to do it but it works fine for me...

 

also how do u check the oil pressure

 

my bad bro..i meant check ur oil level...u would need an oil pressure gauge to check ur oil pressure...i need to get one installed as well...search there are a couple write ups

 

Vtec requires a couple of different things to even work.
Check your Oil.
Make sure you're reaching the right rpms.
Make sure the temp of the engine is optimal (Warmed up)
Check the solenoid.
Check the plug. (Green one next to the solenoid)
Do you have some sort of indicator or something?
I mean, Tell us what motors in the car.

 

i checked the oil and its up to the line it needs to be so its got to be something else

 

its a b16a1, oil is fine, and i reved up to 7500 and nothing, and i warmed it up before, solenoid looks fine, and the plug looks fine, and all the wires, could the soleniod have just went bad

 

Its a possiblity, yes.
Now, I'm not trying to be a dick. But, I've seen it before. You sound like you know what you're talking about. But...When you revved to 7500, were you actually driving? Or just in Neutral.
Sorry for the stupid question, but its got to be asked. NO Offense.

haha that is too funny..

check to see if u r getting 12+ volts to ur solenoid...if it is getting powerit means the solenoid is bad...in that case just get a new solenoid..

 

yea i drove it, i didnt even to bother reving it up any higher cuz its not tuned all the way b/c we dont want to tune it without vtec kicking on, but in every gear i dont have it, i remmember once in awhile last year that i didnt have it i believe it was in 2 gear it didnt turn on but i always have been able to hear it turn over and i cant, but tommorrow im gonna put 12v to it and see what happenes and maybe clean it out to see if that helps, but the oil and all the plugs seem fine, i just dont understand, but thanx for all your help guys if you have anymore ideas for what i can try please comment some more

wait i dont get it..so it works now ?

 

no im talking like 3 years ago, when i first drove it when i swaped the engine

 

ic...we pretty much covered everything else that it could be

 

yea, well ill let ya guys know tommorrow and see what happens, if it is the solenoid does anyone know where i can get one

 

just type vtec solenoid and search under recent topics...im sure u will find a bunch

 

allright, well i just took it around town and i heard vtec in 2nd third and fourth gear didnt go up to fith, but i didnt realy hear it turn over in first and it also feels like its dragging and taking the turbo longer to spool up, but i dunno whats up with first, but it does turn over now, thank god, good start, so thats the update on that, thanx for everyones help, hondas just fix themselfs sometiems

Try a new starter for your vtec then it should turn over, if not who needs vtec when you got Boost.
