it fell off most likely.. loose connecting to the solenoid ? not enough oil, ect can all lead to vtec not engaging I think there are plenty of threads covering it, check your oil first.
i checked all those but still its not engaging, my oil level is jst a bit up than the required level, u think that mite be the prob. jst cjaged the oil 3 days ago...wat ya mean threads covering it???
he means the same question has been asked before.
use the search button and you will find your answer.
also, type the whole word. not jst hlf ov it.
The VTEC pressure sensor is basically an oil pressure sensor. Insufficient oil pressure, low temperature, a faulty switch, a plugged or faulty solenoid all could cause no VTEC.
Check your oil, make sure you're up to temperature. If VTEC doesn't work, check your wiring. After that, get a manual and start making your way down the trouble shooting list, and it wont matter if ur oil is just abit over the max lvl it shud be fine.
thxxxxx buddyy...
Your VTEC should switch into high cam at about ([S]6,500rpm[/S]) 5,800rpm, not 4500. If you have a VTIR, at (4500rpm) 4000rpm your VVIS opens for slightly more airflow.
It is. You can hear it when you run it on the dyno. It sounds quite moderate up to 5800rpm, then you get the VTEC swap onto high cam, and it suddenly gets a deep voice.Quote:

The VVIS is the same concept as Toyota's TVIS. Toyota uses it purely to provide more low end torque to an engine that is tuned for high rev performance.
Also, above, I got my RPMs mixed up. VTEC comes on at 5500-6000 rpm, while VVIS opens at around 4000.
Been covered so many tym with integra vtir motors with dual stage IM
Vtec comes first then secondary butterflies, u can hear it better at 5800 doesnt mean its vtec.
Y dun you hook up a light bulb to ur vtec switch and see when vtec kicks in
srry guys i had the crome intake pipe thats y couldnt hear the vtec...now i got my stock induction pipes n can here em' roar....thxxx everyone...can someone give me some rep points pls...i wanna sell some items...thank you....
Every reliable source I've ever consulted states that VTEC comes in at much higher revs than that.Quote:

Hey, i will have to do some searching at a mates house, but he has a h22a vtir, and the dyno sheet looks similair to yours.Quote:

more open area in the intake manifold, the less resistance for the air to flow through, the more power it will make....
Plus there are alot of respectable websites that show stats for honda motors and the vtec in a vtir is 4500, and secondaries at 5800....
