Vtec

[JDMjunkie]

well my VTEC pressure sensor wasnt wired up because the wire broke at the pin in the connector so i just re-wired it to get rid of my CEL. well obviously VTEC wasnt engaging with the CEL, but even after i cleared it, it still doesnt engage. i dont have a CEL and i have oil in the car, any ideas?

[JDMjunkie]

anyone have an idea??

Is your car up to operating temp. You sure you plugged it in the right opening?

[JDMjunkie]

yes everything is wired up correctly, maybe i should let my car warm up and then try

[almostJDM]

yea you gotta be at operating temp b4 it will engauge

[japspecb7]

ur temp must be up 4 the vtec to engage. i had the same prob with my ls/vtec

[JDMjunkie]

well even with the car at operating temp it doesnt engage, my rev limit is at 6500 instead of 7200. any ideas?

What type of ECU are you using?

[JDMjunkie]

P13

bad idea to rev your car like that when it's cold. and is the solenoid itself bad?

[JDMjunkie]

i havent checked the solenoid yet, i dont drive it hard when its cold. i let it warm up before i do anything hard on it.

[NAiL05]

Are you driving the car or revving it in neutral??? If your revving it in neutral bad for the motor and vtec wont engage.

you sure you cleared the CEL? 6500 limit sounds like its cold... disconnect the battery for a while and try again.

btw, if you tie the d6 pressure sensor wire to the a4 solenoid wire, it wont check for the pressure sensor.

no im not revving in neutral this is when im driving, and mike what do you mean "tie" the wires, do you mean getting them mixed up?
