vtec questions....

[94LSEG]

alright when i bought my car vtec didnt work and we have went threw and checked all the wireing to see if that was the case and then after that didnt work i purchased a vtec solenoid and that didnt work then i switched out the ECU and it still has the check engine light on... does the check engine light need to be reset or is there something eles i can do to fix it ?

[94LSEG]

please PM me if you know how to fix it.!

is the vtec the only reason the check light is on? and if your using a thick oil or have to much oil you may not beable to hear it. if thats not the only reason the lights on do this.......

go sit in your passenger seat, reach up under the dash above the ecu and pull out the 2 wires (probably wrapped in green with blue clips). take the one with only 2 wires, take a paper clip and stick one end in one, and the other end on the other. watch your check engine light, it will flash some codes, its the lights stays on for a second, then blinks 3 times, that means 13. stays on for a second, goes out, stays on another second, then blinks 7 stimes, thats 27. just tell me whats codes it flashes and i got a paper, that i can tell you whats it is and how it can be fixed. if its giving you a bunch of codes open the fuse box and remove the back up fuse (7.5amp) then drive it for a few mins and check agian. when checking the codes make sure the paper clip stays in the whole time, until you see a code more than once.

if your CEL is on, vtec wont engage most of the time. you need to determine what the CEL is on for and remedy it.

whats a CEL ?.. the only thing that i know is that i have changed the solenoid and before the speedo stoped working it still didnt work then i changed the solenoid and it still doesnt work and the same code is coming up then i put a new ECU in it and it still had the same problem

vtec wont activate without your speedo working

[speedminded]

vtec wont activate without your speedo workingah ha! that explains why my stock 1st gen didn't activate :thinking:...oh wait, it didn't have vtec?! :tongue:

well my 98 prelude, wouldnt activate when i was low on oil, but didnt realize it until a few days later, and that solved the problem. hope you get it fixed.
