ECU/Vtec question

[dustinkelley]

yea if you looked at my other thread on here, the guy i bought my car from didnt want to use proper wiring connections.....soo the main wires from solenoids came apart so did the vtec....and we got it back together and its flashin one......one.......1.1.1 in that order or 2 slow and 3 fast..red flashes....i looked it up and still cant figure it out and now vtec works after about 5/10 minutes of driven


any opioins reps for whoever helps...
more info upon request

that's code 23 which should be the knock sensor

[dustinkelley]

yea i found that out..how do i fix it and what about the vtec, only kickin in after the car warms up

[jriley60]

from what i understand vtec should only kick in when the car is warm..

gotta wait for the internals to get nice and lubed up. vtec only works with good oil pressure

[dustinkelley]

OK....that sounds a little better

[LIKEG6]

yea VTEC will only work once the car is at normal operating temperature and the oil pressure is up to normal

[dustinkelley]

i really didnt know all of that thanks again yall..............................do yall know how to fix the knock sensor......what do i do

[jriley60]

make sure the knock sensor is tight, check the wiring from the knock sensor to the ecu and if all else fails replace the knock sensor

[dustinkelley]

how much is that gonna be......is it a problem to let it keep doin it

[jriley60]

i'm not sure probably about a hundred bucks try to tighten it first and check the wiring

[dustinkelley]

thanks
