ok so i was wondering i have a vtec motor and i was wonderin can yoou tell if your vtec isnt workin?

 

did you check your v-tak fluid? j.k. Do you have a check engine light? Low oil pressure/level, and failed vtec solenoid would be the 2 most common culprits. Another would be no speed signal going to the ECU, but I believe that would trigger a check engine light.

 

if you have a cel the ecu goes into limp mode and will not engage vtec, also if you want to be positive vtec is kicking in you can wire a 12v light to the green wire going into the vtec solnoid, so when vtec is engaged the light will light up

 

a cel? whats that?

 

check engine light

 

Check
Engine
Light





What makes you think your VTEC isn't engaging?

 

nice one CEL hahahahahah

 

Idk I feel like I don't feel like I'm gettin all the power I have.

 

Make sure that your CEL has not been disabled. It should come on if you turn the key on but don't start the engine. The VTEC system will check itself ever time it engages. When you can wind the engine up over 6000 and the CEL doesn't come on you can assume it is working.

 

alright so does it matter if i have it in d4 or d3 or 2? and so when i get it to 6000 and the check engine light doesnt come on i have no problem with the vtec?
