well the solenoid was. i remember yall making it click on and off. so maybe im missing something

Way vtec works (I'm not talking down more like talking out loud)

oil pressure must be over 55 psi
engine coolant temp must be over 140'f. Iirc
speedo must operate (vss signal)
solenoid must get 12 volt signal

If all those work car will hit vtec. Basically aem reads all those factors then tells the solenoid to open at 55psi and xxxx rpm to switch into vtec. Oil pressure basically gets released when the solenoid opens down rocker shafts that move pins into position to lock in the vtec lobe on the cam. Yours wasn't doing that.
yOur car wouldn't switch at all. Even though all the above was working. We put a constant 12 volt to you solenoid to get it to manually open it clicked meanig the solenoid was working. Aem was switching from lo cam to high cam so aem was fine. Oil pressure was fine

that means there was something mechanical not operating. Like the vtec rocker arm/pins . At that point I told you I didn't know enough about s2000 heads to know what activated like a b series. B series is rocker arm driven wih pins s2000 and k series is roller rocker. At least I was honest but like I said it was definetly mechanical.

If that mechanical problem fixes itself I agree weird but not the weirdest thing I have ever seen. I don't think you got ripped off I think it was just something that We diagnosed , didn't find the problem in an hour and you left

The timeline seems off to me but I'm sure you can fill me in and correct me

car goes to topspeed, vtec issues
car goes to batlground, vtec issues
I see you a year later at mainstream/turbodave car hits vtec blows headgasket

then you went to inline pro.

Are you telling me after batlground and before mainstream/turbodave you went to inline pro with nothing changed as it left bg andit hit vtec? Then why take it to turbodave ?

Never made sense to me.

no. i took it to INline pro right after battle ground and put down 470whp. a year later i had changed turbos and and turbo kits and didnt wanna go all the way back to DC to get the car tuned. so ppl told me turbo dave could do it....which he fucked my stuff up. so i had to take it back to inline pro where i put down 650whp on the stock motor. now its totally diff again and i had only 1 option....take it to inline pro because i have no faith in any of the shops in ATL...no offense

Ok no offense taken thanks for the clarification
