johngreen537 Posted February 16, 2011 Share Posted February 16, 2011 Have a look in the how to section mate, there's one in there fro vtec indicator light.What doing this will tell you is when the vtec is on and off, so if the electrical signal from solenoid is telling the ECU that VTEC should engage, the light will come on. Should take no time at all for the VTEC 'mechanical' stuff to operate after the ECU gives the signal!So if you wire in indicator light, then there is a big delay in the VTEC light coming on and the feeling of vtec, then it's more likely to be mechanical! if the light flickers on off etc, then it's more likely electrical / sensor / actuator based.
