yes and no
it proves the ecu is doing its bit
you then could have a prefecly fine VTEC solenoid, spool valve, strainer, cam gear, but low oil pressure
trust me you can beat yoru self or months trying to find the problem.
could even be your thermostat.
I had a problem car recently, turned out to be the relife valve in the oil pump
after the voltage test you best do a oil pressure test
yeh thats the prob hey! sometimes it takes u forever to find these little probs! i'll do the voltage test tomoro anyway, and let u know how it goes....

thanks eurodude.... just had a read and thats helpful too.... looks like im spending my day tomoro going through all these tests until i find something!

Yeah, good idea... Jack up the front of the car and spin a wheel to pulse the VSS ;)
i have power to the solenoid, and the solenoid makes the click sound wen i put power to it, so i might pull it off and see if it needs a clean... that guide was good too tinkerbell, thanks!
nic :thumbsup:
pulled it off and all seems good.. in relation to vtec not engaging due to low oil pressure...... is that because the ecu registers low pressure (meaning because there is power going to the solenoid, oil pressure is not an issue) or will it still not engage with low oil pressure even if the ecu sends power to it? thanks for ur help ppl....
nic :thumbsup:
you also need load to get VTEC to engage, best drive it on the street in 1st gear.
if your oil pressure is low VTEC can engage then disengage, or not engage at all.
