No Vtec... Rusted Solenoid?

**LostyJai** · 26-01-2011 06:02 PM

Hey guys,

My friend test drove my car and said my vtec was not working. He opened the bonnet and said the vtec solenoid was rusted.

What do you guys think? How can I test it? How much does it cost to replace the solenoid?

Everything in the car is stock. Does it sound like VTec is kicking in?

stock wont be able to hear much, try removing the resonators in your front bar and take the lid of the top of your airfilterbox then go for a drive.
i think it is kicking in your just driving it really slowly lol not giving WOT

i agree with gsi_psi. i think it is there but your not flat footing it.
plus with the car being stock you wont hear so much when you hit vtec....i think i could slightly hear it but hard to tell....

The lid of the airbox was taken off and there was a pod filter. Even topped up the engine oil.
