My ex coupe is throwing code 20

I never heard of it I research in I found out its
Around the fuse box under the hood but
I don't wanna mess anything up any help would be very nice
Thanks in advance ia

[Tech5]

Correct it's the black box

[terrytowe22]

The fuse box itself is bad?

[Tech5]

yes but there is a fuse for this you should check that first and go from there

[terrytowe22]

What fuse please

[Tech5]

# 15 in the fuse block under the dash!!!

Take a flash light and look close and they are numbered

If it keeps blowing fuses after you replace it then this will help

There was no fuse there lol I put one in it the code
Went away I believe havent tried the codes or see if it blown fuse
Car still want hit vtec I have code 41 o2 sensor
Will it make it not hit vtec

[Tech5]

I have O2 sensors codes and it will hit vtec it has no issues with controlling Vtec


Was Vtec working before ?

Low of oil ?
car not warmed up?
ALL sensors plugged in tight? Push in the wires on Vtec solenoid and pressure switch I seen them come loose thru time and people missing with them

Dent in the oil pan???

what ecu you using?

[terrytowe22]

Oil pan good
Not low on oil I see that there two wires going into the vtec plug in there strip if those two wires touch will it
Mess it up
P2p ecu
Ive let car warmed up also I know when I going down the highway in 5 th around 3 k rpm car wants to skip like if I gear down clear it out it want do it for a while again I'm thinking the 02 sensors

[Tech5]

I would check your tune up for the skipping , and those wires touch yes it will cancel vtec out

[terrytowe22]

Got every Cel off the car in it still will not hit vtec any clues

[Tech5]

The list is up to check , just because there isn't a cel don't mean that the vtec should work , RE Read my post above and check everything as I stated

[Tech5]

another thing is to take your vtec solenoid off and clean the screen , it could be dirty and clogging it up and not working.

[terrytowe22]

It's just like revs straight through doesn't do anything at all
Also what would make the car like jerk while I'm in 5th gear cruising
Like a skip or so could I have a bad ecu in the car still run?

[Tech5]

sounds like a misfire tune up?

[terrytowe22]

Has new plugs wires rotor cap? Could the dizzy be bad?
Or the icm?
