    Newb H22????

    So im getting the notorious "CODE 22" and I have no vtec.

    From searching i can see i have a few options.
    1. I could buy a new vtec pressure switch(I cant find it on majestic honda btw.... if someone could point me in the right direction that'd be great.)
    2. I could bypass at the ecu which i could do but prefer not to since its seen as a safety concern.
    3. Or i could clean the vtec filter and screen which i have no clue what the heck that is, where it is or what it looks like. (Again if somebody could point me in the right direction that'd be great.)

    Im leaning towards 3 but i dont know what to do. I know the v. solenoid is the cylinder thingy but i dont know what it is when people say they clean some screen or filter or w/e.

    To clean the screen, You will have to take off the Vtec solonoid and when you take it off you will see the screen. Just spray it down with carb cleaner and reinstall. Just like cleaning the Iacv. Screen is similar but larger.

      Its #19, also you kinda see the screen part i was talking about. Its right where number 13 is.

        yoooo chris.

        first and best option: clean

        the solenoid is held down to the assy by three 10mm bolts. theres another three 10mm holding the whole vtec assy to the side of the head. removed, the whole screen/gasket is obvious... pull it out without tearing it (they get hard and dry... youd actually be better off buying a new one from the dealer before you start). either clean and reinstall, or put a fresh new one in.

        the code can mean 1 of 2 things - its disconnected (unlikely, do u know how to use a multimeter?) orrrrr its being tripped as a safety (thats why its there!) and its saying that it isnt getting enough oil pressure to enable vtec. can be caused by a dirty screen, or its actually a lack of oiil - check that u have enough...

            my guess is that with it finally being run again, dirt is finally getting loosened up internally and perhaps it finally built up enough on the screen to cause issues... since theres not really any other screens or filters on the engine besides that vtec screen and the oil filter. hopefully thats all it is

              So im guessing it would be wise to change the oil and filter as well after doing this!

                Thanks for the help guys! I took off the vtec assembly and my filter was damn near clogged shut. So i cleaned all the crap out of there and did an oil change and now my babys running harder than ever
