My VTEC duznt work properly

[aaronng]

ye checked it this morning b4 i left for work....oil was ok

Where was the level?

[Vuey]

check your vtec soliniod ( im not sure if thats how you spell it ) is properly connected .

Also , could be a map sensor problem , and you will need to do the "Stop / start " cycle to reset your map sensor .

oh ok ill check it out.......my oil level was just under the full indicator - pre start...i was told that this was ok....is that where it should be?

[EuroDude]

yeh just under the Full mark is ok. That shouldnt affect the vtec pressure.

oh ok well i have a bit of a checklist anyways il try a few things tonight and see how it goes.

ye my car was perfect apart from clutch buzz. this is the only prob ive actually had with it. I do look after it well......and avoid 9k rpm launches lol. Im quite baffled by this tho....just gave the car a major service so im gonna try and fix this asap.

clutch buzz isnt really an issue , the clutch is fine . When you replace your clutch with a 01+ clutch , it wont be a problem anymore .

Trust me on my earlier tip with the "stop/ Start" cycle . A few other owners suffered from the same problem as you here , it wasnt oil / temp issues .

disconnect your battery , then reconnect it . Start the car and then switch off repeatedly 10 x times . I know it sounds crazy , but it works .
Also , you might want to give your map sensor a whack with a head of a screw driver .

deifinitely right FLY!!
if its not warm by 3 bars then it wont hit the vtec or power will drop staright after it reaches 6kRPM

if not check engine oil, the oil your using ... remember S2K use a very light oil, they use 10/30w or 5/40w.

if its neither it could be anything from solenoid, afm, 02 sensor or ecu... take it to a auto electrician

clutch buss is normal as well .. i had that in my previous clutch but after a fresh new clutch was sent from honda japan and was installed its gone ..

consider resetting the ECU by pulling out the fuse and pluggin it back in and let it set for 5-10 minutes without revving it or nothing
