Vtec gone!?

**ECU-MAN** · 23-04-2007 12:30 AM

did they use a honda head gasket, or some non gen head gasket ( from a non VTEC blocking the oil feed hole for the VTEC system )

98 DC2 wont have a VTP ( VTEC Pressure Switch ) so the ecu wont know that VTEC isnt engaged. so no engine light comes on

if they forgot to connect the VTEC solenoid the Egine light will come on.

you will need to check for oil pressure from the bolt at the front of the head when you energise the VTEC solenoid

maybe you should buy a new vtec

take it back to where you got your head gasket done and tell them to fix it

nah dont use it as an indication, its usualy more of a 'whoa man... better ease up a bit' it kiks up enough fuss to let u know its there =)

I would say that is probably a better indication of you needing some new tyres man!

kmon now guys whats wrong with burnouts, my crusty accord gear box slips out of gear when its in d3 and d4 usually around right hand turns and a slight incline and revs like shizz then comes back and does a decent skiddie lol , doesnt slip when its in 2 though :S... might aswell use this to my advantage any ideas what wrong?

**TheSaint** · 23-04-2007 07:05 PM

No light comes on.
It feels 'flat' after 5g's
Not sure which headgasket they used...i think i need to change the thermo though.

I recommend u take ur car to a honda mechanic to have your vtec problem diagnosed properly. u should try and find out what head gasket was used as well.
