22 is a code for v tec and also applies to the 4ws. just make sure that v tec works. and double check if it isn't the 4ws auto ecu.

Last time i checked code 36 is what deals with 4ws, not 22.

No problem

Code 7

Was the tps replaced or broken? If it was replaced you will have to adjust it to a certain voltage, i believe there is a diy on here for that.

Code 22
For the vtec pressure switch, if you have already wired it and its in the correct pin, try switching the the two leads for it, I have dealt with the problem a lot of time. To check the switch itself, use a volt meter to check for continuity, if you have it then the switch is good and the problem lies in the wiring or computer, most likely the wiring.

TPS was replaced, I'll adjust it tomorrow and see if it works. As far as the VTEC Pressure Switch, I have continuity at the switch itself, and continuity when I plug the wires into it and check again. I'll hit it again tomorrow and see if I can kill this CEL.

I guess there's two code 22, one for pgm fi and the other one for 4ws. there is a code 20,22,24,26,21,23,25. etc. related to 4ws. that's what threw me off. plus I was using ISIS and just typed in 22 and it went straight to 4ws, not pgm fi. FUCKEn ISIS.LOL. let us know updates gerald.

I got all of the CEL codes resolved. Thanks to all for the help!

so i swap out the dash.....now that the new dash is in.....i forgot how the harnes for the cluster gets feed thru the dash....seems short the way im doing it....anyone got any pics with out the cluster....thanks...

thats what happne when u start something.....and 1 week later u try to go back where u left off...

you mashing vtak? how does the auto lsd perform? i want to do that to a future car

VTEC Solenoid

I once came across a thread in a forum on how to test the VTEC solenoid. It said something like hook it up to a battery and see if you hear a click. Anyone have a clue? Thanks.

Nah, not yet. Got to get the headers first, and then I can really start driving this car. I took it for a test drive, but not on the freeway. However, I do notice the LSD!

Okay, so I found a few threads after more searching, and I tested that the solenoid works by attaching a wire from the positive battery terminal to the pin that the harness attaches to at the solenoid. I heard the click, so I know it works.

The screen is brand new, but I've never checked the solenoid for dirt and grime. I replaced the screen when I did the swap, and the screen I took off was not dirty, so I doubt the solenoid is dirty.

I checked continuity from the pin at the solenoid to ground and it had continuity (15 ohms).

I also checked continuity from pin A4 to ground and got continuity again (15 ohms).

For the hell of it, I tried going the other way (from the harness at the solenoid to ground, and got nothing. What does that mean (if anything)?

What else can I check?

What is the problem you are having? It would help a lot if you described the symptoms and when it happens...

CEL Code 21 (VTEC Solenoid)

check that plunger mechanism under the throttle body.

so my idle problem came back... check and tightened that white ring plunger thing, now it idles perfect. im writing in craig "the answer man" for president on my ballot this year
