This afternoon I got in my car and was gonig to teach soembody how to drive a standard. It was a girl so of course i'm going to jump on it and let the Vtec own! Well, I grabbed 2nd gear, ran all the way up to around 7K and the Vtec never kicked. Grabbed 3rd, Same deal. So, I stopped, opened the hood thought that some how I had knocked a plug off the solenoid when I was washing out the engine compartment. Checked all that over and everything was hooked up. So we got back in the car, it ran fine, then I jumped on it again and the VTec kicked right in.

Just the other day when I was washing the car, I went to move it on to the cement and it wouldnt rev to anything over 1500R's. Shut it down, Started it back up. Ran fine.

Anybody ever have this problem? I'd like to get it fixed before it leaves me stranded somewhere lol.

Thanks

IDK, but it sounds like it is going into limp mode for something. Is it OBDII?

I'm not sure what OBD it is. I can turn wrenches and build the motor. But i have no idea how to tell on what obd it is. I belive "0" but idk?

its swapped its a B16. sorry about lack of info. I dont know how to test the solenoid. I dont even know how to get the codes out of this thing :( I've never really had electrical problems before. Either i've ran all Small blocks with carbs, or my honda problems have been rods going through the block. The Year of the block i dont know either i know it says B16A on it.
