vtec not kickin in

[rickgiblin]

i got a b16 and my vtec use to work lat week, now it doesnt engauge at all... it did it once before but i was low on oil alittle bit. but then it started working without doing anything, now i checked my oil and im good, even alittle bit over. does anyone have any ideas why it isnt kickin in?

[boostedb16]

mine did that but the two plugs that are on the solinoid where crossed. does your gasket leak?

[Turbodude06]

Mine did that too when my speed sensor wasn't hooked up.....

check the oil, and then take off the vtec solenoid, and clean it with some carb cleaner

if comes down to it. the vtec solenoid might be dead

vtec soliond ,knock sensor,pcm,most likely be soliond .....cant fully diagnosis on internet or phone, hope this helped

and as for the mil... i know this is stupid as fuck and im gonna get flamed, but what is it?

[EmminoDaGreat]

yellow light that says check engine (malfunction indicator lamp/light)

I'm surprised it took that long for someone to mention vtech fluid... I was expecting to see that in the first post.

lol me 2

thats why i had to throw it out there lol

[OneSlow5pt0]

shouldnt this be in forced introduction?

cause as we all know vtek > turbo-S/C

[Driftk1d350z]

i think vtek should have its own section

thats how godly it is
