Are people dialing the right number? is your ringer turned on?




In case you haven't realized by now you don't have V-Tech in your car, it's Vtec

so you did a motor swap with a identical motor? what year motor? what year car?

What all did you swap?
I'm talking components.
Did you swao anything other than just the engine itself.
What was the reasoning for you to swap motors?

43 periods, and onyl four are used to denote the end of a sentence... tsk, tsk, tsk.

What ecu are you using?

RE: v-tech doestn kick in .....why the hell not???????
 

reason for swap was becuase my old motor blew and i got the same motor installed and it came out of a 98 civic ex n mines a 97,,,it was just a basic swap what was on old motor "intake headers,and sparkplugs was put on other motor". and ecu is the original....." i was told about getting a nick sensor " and that should take care of the issue but i dont have any clue
