vtec not as strong

**hybn8** · 18-03-2005 04:30 PM

hey guys,
Need some help. My head gasket popped so i replaced it. Since then my vtec doesnt seem like its full potential. Is it something i did wrong when i put my engine together?

did u plug the wire to the vtec solenoid?

Sounds like your VTEC is falling off.

yeah have a look at the back of your block to see if your VTEC is still there

if he dindnt plug in the Vtec wire his engine light would come on.
if his Vtec fell off it, the left rear tyre would go flat.
what did yoiu have done to the head, was it shaved at all, what head gasket did you use

Just a question: why would ur left tyre go flat?

Sorry for OT

My engine light is on.. Im scared. What should i do? wher is the vtec solenoid plug placed?..Im pretty sure that my valve timing is timed right. My engine just cuts out at about 7000rpm(8000rpm is more like it).
