Vtec not kicking in! :(

[minhtrii]

i have a b16a2 in an eg, just recently converted.

my vtec doesn't kick in so i was wondering how to fix it?

i heard there are vtec controllers but kill the motor, so im not sure about this option.

[I heart the SSS]

- change plugs
- change oil to recommended weight
- use genuine/hamp filter (hit up JDM yard for that)
- remove resonator on stock intake

try that first

if not

- change VTEC solenoid gasket
- take solenoid out and clean with carby cleaner
- reset ECU and check for fault codes

still no vtec

- check for oil leaks
- check sump for dents

[oldschool]

check your oil, when its low vtec will not engage

Make sure engine is warm. Vtec will not work when cold.

did it ever work.

its not wired properly most likely. did one your your boys down at ultra tune do the install ? or a repuatable workshop. or diy ?

norm84 bought an EG with b16a vtec didn't work. PM him. (he fixed it)

bring it to your mechanic and fix it

if all the recommendation fails, then there might be something wrong with the wiring. bring it to good performance centre. they can fix it.
