okay so I think I have vtec problems,


I installed a vtec light in my gauge cluster, I ran it to the ecu and I only got it to work one time. I figured I wasn't clipping it right or something and it would be easier to run it to the solenoid, well I did that and after a few tries I got it to work (came on twice when getting up to 5500rpm)

I unhooked everything because it was just taped together and put all good connecting clips on it and tried it out and the light never came on. So I took all hte clips off and hot wired everything where I knew it had to be making connection to everything and still... nothing.

I thought maybe the bulb I put in was bad so I took that bulb out and today replaced new bulb (put 2 bulbs in so I could have a better chance and tested them before hand), rewired everything and STILL no vtec light


honestly I could care less about getting the light to work but now I think my vtec itself has the issue and I know nothing about them or how to test it (other than the light of course)


I've read to check and see if its throwing codes because codes could keep it from working? I just don't understand why it would work those three times and then not again


any input on this is greatly appreciated

 

anybody?

 

Is the Check Engine light on?
what codes is it showing?
Check your oil level.

 

23 bummmmmmmp

 

no check engine light, oil level is fine, car is warmed up when testing

 

Unplug the solenoid and test drive. When you hit 5500 rpm and the ECU sees the VTEC didn't engage (no action from VTEC pressure switch), the CEL should come on.
