it depends on ur ecu and what the ecu is tuned for it to open

Don't worry about a P28. This guy is giving lousy information on something that he clearly knows nothing about. You're nowhere near needing a P28 yet... and if it won't run correctly on a P13, it won't run correctly on a P28.


Your CEL is on, which means there's a problem. Pull the code, and find out what it is. Your ECU is in limp mode, which means VTEC will not engage. It also means that pushing your car to those limits could seriously damage the engine. Find out what that trouble code is, and fix it... until then, don't drive the car.

Couldn't have said it better myself. If the CEL is on then you need to get that fixed. It's really easy and fast to find out what it is, so find out and let us know
