Vtec getting stuck on helppp!!!

[HondaTurboVtec]

Yeh one time I went to autobahn for a oil change, and when i got it back they had slipped some Toda cams in there.

But seriously, if u had TODA VTEC killers all this time you would know about it, or at least I hope you would.

My bet is (in order of likely hood)
1. Oil is dirty
2. Nothing is really wrong
3. Faulty solenoid
4. dodgey ECU
5. Aliens controlling the VTEC
6. TODA VTEC killer cams have been installed.

^ maybe that is the problem lol...

Check the map sensor..

[Grady93]

oil cant be dirty, its just had a service.. something is really wrong... could be the solenoid, a new one is on its way... could be ecu... and wil check the sensor

[GU357]

dude check if at the service they threw those cams in... never know..
lol jk

yeh get back to us with what happens when u change the solenoid n that

Its either mechanical or electrical.

Try unplugging your vtec solenoid and see if anything changes. If it doesn't, then it meas that the vtec solenoid is mechanically stuff on. In this case you should pull it off and give it a clean. Theres a little filter/screen in there that can collect junk.

If unplugging the solenoid fixes the problem then you may have a dodgey ecu or some wiring somewhere that is causing you issues.

I reckon its a mechanical thing.

Good luck.

mentioned this before - the OP seems to be not taking this serious enough to bother trying options out !

AFAIK it isnt possible to have VTEC "stuck" at any RPM lower than it is designated. A quick google search tells me its likely a vacuum leak (ICAV , throttle body or exhaust) which is giving this noise. Such as a gasket is cracking open....

OP - check it out.

I think you may have blown the welds on the intake.

Good post dumb kunt

You must spread some Reputation around before giving it to bennjamin again.

I tried...

Get a b18c2 gear box and u'll never hit vtec again

Ill swap you

[EG52NV]

Check your timing, sounds to me it's retarded

Double post

[GU357]

actually what speed would you be doing at 5000rpm on a dc2 box?

depends what gear your in.

stock dc2r box

1st gear@5000rpm 38kph
2nd gear@5000rpm 58kph
3rd gear@5000rpm 84 kph
4th gear@ 5000rpm 118kph
5th gear@5000rpm 155kph
