check engine oil level... top up if needed... run ecu code test..

if above all appears to be normal... then " ur VTEC fell off! "

[void-]

[chunky]

good info here guise

[GU357]

Check your oil level, drive window down and no music on and listen out for vtec when accelerating at over 50% throttle.

maybe its just not kicking in y0~

[4age8u]

B18c7 on an ek dosent pull hard not like a turbo rush anyway

[chauster]

if its an ek check the clutch fuild.

if its in the eg check the fan belt.

[Latino CRX]

jump into the slowest peice of crap and drive that for a week
then jump back into the honda .. u will think its pulling hard again ..

your prob just gettin used to the cars power etc ..

when i got my R33 GTR last year it felt like a beast of a rush
but after while i got used to that feelin and drivin the car everyday
it just became normal ...

[unl3a5h]

definitely the vtec fluid right next to the vtec pulley attached to the vtec charger......vtec

[simmy]

awy333333h

[JDM DC2R]

LOL funny thread. Check oil levels. is number one
Driving with air con on or something over loading the power supple can have power loss affect.
Has the car been re tuned or vtec point adjusted. I no of some people who actually raise the vtec point. So when vtec "kicks in yo" its more prompt and gives more the kick feeling.

Other then that check spark plugs, leads and distributor!

[EG52NV]

Check the timing

[EG52NV]

Check the timing

And if that fails you probably have a boost leak some where, so go to supercheap auto and buy a bottle of that tyre puncture repair kit and spray a bit down the intake manifold. That should fit it.

[Vvvtec]

change your seats

[CRXDEL501]

Vtec sticker?

[Raztaz]

hey man, where's the best place to buy some VTEC fluid? I suspect my gfs vti sedan needs topping up coz we can't feel the vtec kick in, do you know if meekong spared in canley keep it in stock?

[dougie_504]

Stop trolling you noobs.

OP just check oil level and if that's sufficient check if there's an oil leak at your VTEC solenoid.

[CRXDEL501]

Yeahhhhhhh lol

May as well do compression test too

[dougie_504]

^ true dat

[HondaTurboVtec]

1) Make sure oil level and oil pressure are good
2) Make sure car is at normal operating temperature
3) Make sure there is no check engine light
4 Make sure wires/plugs are tight or wired correctly
5) Make sure vtec solenoid is clean
6) Make sure you have a vtec enabled ecu


Hopefully you can get it sorted out! Good Luck

im suprised this thread is still open.......

[bennjamin]

im suprised this thread is still open.......

Meh. It's the noob forum

[bennjamin]

Btw here is a couple of things to check out

1. Any vacuum leaks on the intake arm or around the air box
2. Failing / failed TPS

Both can alter the "feeling" of VTAK ( serious)

[CRXDEL501]

Meh. It's the noob forum

Haha yeoww

[GU357]

B SERIEous GUYS! this guy really wants help.

are u using 98 ron?

[DreadAngel]

You expecting VTAK to kick so hard that you actually get forced back into your seat? o.O

[CRXDEL501]

Personally I think tell her to pull harder

[GU357]

when Vtec does kick in the power band isnt at the beginning of the VTEC rev range, usually its a bit further on nearer to redline, isnt it?

it should just make more noise and perform better then it would if it only had 1 size cam, its not boost.

what you could do is, get to vtec with ur foot at 50% then when vtec kicks in (yo~) plant it to the floor, it will feel like boost

yeah normally at crossover theres a drop in power as you see from most vtec dyno charts



then it starts to soar as the rpm rises,your pulse raises,surroundings begin to blur and time slows down as you approach the stargate

[tripleuse]

if your exhaust has a flex, check it, it could be crushed!
