No Vtec, RPMS drop quick, weird sound.

[rossisalvage]

Hey guys as the title says my Vtec just stopped working. I hear the crossover but there is absolutly no power. It always makes the loudest sound that I would describe as a chainsaw with no muffler, above 5,000 rpm. Below 3,000 rpm my motor sounds abnormally quiet. The rpms also drop quickly when I rev it up. Oil level is fine. Any suggestions?

could it be ur oil pressure? check oil pan for damage

Thanks guys...my pan looks fine and everything was running great. The car ran great all night then i was shifting 3rd-4th and at around 7,500 rpm when it made the weird chainsaw sound and since then no vtec

fried solenoid?

[rossisalvage]

its not the vtec solenoid I just tried replacing it, still have the same problems. At 5,000 rpm the motor makes the craziest sound as if its running with open headers. Here is a video:

I can still hear vtec crossover, just no power

check your spark plugs and dizzy

so your vtec still engages....so that would indicate that your oil pressure is fine and your solenoid is good....like i said it may be spark issues or even altenator problems

[rossisalvage]

plugs wires cap/rotor were all recently changed.....

[caveman]

check your altenator

[rossisalvage]

altenator is fine...i cant figure this outtttt

[nope]

lol, why would it be the alternator?! c'mon, rly?
