    check your oil, oil pressure, and the solenoid.

    if your oil is low then the oil pressure won't be high enough to engage the vtec. and i'm not sure about sensor effecting your vtec solenoid.

    best bet is to get the adapter for the oil filter, and hook up and oil pressure gauge. or you could go with a T fitting and run it off the sensor from the back of the block, but i wouldn't recommend that.

    clean vtec solinoid, make sure your at normal operation temperature when vtec is engaged, oil level, good conection on wires from solinoid to ecu, and ur speedo works cause u have be atleast 20mph to work.

    Should have stuck with the F22, tsk tsk.
    haha, I dont blame you. If I came across a swap in my price range, i'd do it too. I just decided boost was more fun. I may go with an H head though.

    Back on topic....
    Check the oil, and of course make sure your hitting the proper RPM for it to engage.


    haha, Jay, judging by your reps, someone hates you.
