NIKH25 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 I've found this, might be some help.VTEC TroubleshootingOk, I have noticed ALOT of people recently asking about why their Vtec isn't working.I'm just going to do some of the basic steps in checking to see why the heck Vtec isn'tworking.1: Oil level, it has got to be FULL. I'm talking at the upper mark on the dipstick.2: Solenoid, Ok this is a 2 part fix.A: Take a wire (any wire) disconnect the grey plug on the vtec solenoid andtouch the wire to the pos. battery terminal and the solenoid side of the grey1 pin connector. there should be an audible click from the solenoid.B: If A checks out, remove the solenoid and clean the filter screen. (selfexplanatory)3: Speed, the car must be going over 10 mph so the Speedo must be working. Thatmeans the VSS has to be working. Vtec is temperamental isn't it?4: More oil, check the oil pan. If its dented POUND IT OUT! This is why minewasn't working. The pan was dented in far enough to hit the oil pickup for thepump to cause a low-pressure situation in the head, no pressure no VTEC pluseventually no engine.5: ECU Swap out to another ECU that you KNOW Vtec works on.6: Car must be at I believe its 80 degrees or higher so let car get to a normaloperating temperature.7: If none of the above work, you might want to pull the solenoid off the head, remove the solenoids filter and verify the piston moves freely.That is the basic troubleshooting procedures for it. If I missed anything or got anything wrong, let me know and I will change the info.If you go through all this and it still doesn't work its oil pressure (the pump) or wiring related. So check all the wires for Vtec.That is it I hope it helps some people. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NIKH25 Posted February 26, 2013 Share Posted February 26, 2013 >>>>>>>>ive got a faulty tps Well spotted, vtec relies on many factors, throttle position is one of them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
