    # 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

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

    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

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

    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?
