Is it all the time or only when its cold.. My h22 swap does the same thing when its cold it wont rev past 6k...

 

ill double chek but i think it was fully warmed.

 

the motor is at the right temp. and the vtec light is getting signal>? i plugged in a stock p 28 and it let me rev up to 7500/ so thats makin me think its the knock sensor? anyone hahave any clues?

btw is the oil pressure that activates vtec different in a single cam?

ok i did some more research and it says that 6500 means im not hitting vtec>?

i guess that leaves me with three options

1: the groound on the oil pressure solenoid?

2: dented oil pan

3:thin *** oil?

any ohter sugestion.

 

helooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

somoene?

you should have a CEL code if vtec isn't engaging, unless there isn't enough oil pressure. when you replaced the oil pan, did you make sure the oil feel line wasn't bent up? How bad was the oil pan dent?

 

my old oil pan was made of aluminum/ it completely shttered. when i say completly i mean that the only things left were the part that screws into the block.

i put the new oil pan on . and it was kickin vtec. the all of a sudden it stopped and my redline is 6500.

yesterday i

1. checked all vtec wires
2. checked oil level.
3. cleaned vtec pressure and solenoid screens

my oil pan did rub a little before the vtec stopped working

 

sounds like you need to quit riding slammed

 

i did!! i raised it up to the maximum. still get the ocassional skid!!

 

i had that problem too, but it was cuz i had a code, (vtec pressure valve) but after i cleaned the screen on the vtec solenoid it stopped showing up.

 

my friend had that problem in his h22 swap, but he had a full size fluid dyne radiator, and it kept the engine cold all the time, thus not letting it go into vtec. So he put a half size in it and it runs great.

that shouldn't happen if you have a working thermostat
