someone cut the vtec solenoid wire or you have a faulty vtec solenoid. or maybe they just wrote vtec on the engine lmao

why would you cut the vtec solenoid wire though? what would you gain from that

vtec was too fast for them LOL

to disable VTEC you could disconnect the VTEC solenoid and connect a resistor in place. you will have to do the same to the VTEC Pressure Valve using a relay. or it can be done in the ECU

no idea why they would do such a thing

keep looking and find another car

i just remembered, wouldnt the engine light come on if the wires to the solenoid wasnt connected ???

i remembered when my brother had his b16 dropped in his civic, the wires to the solenoid wasnt connected and the engine light was always on. connected it on, and no problems since
