Vtec not kicking in

[imratedpg]

hey all i have a B16A2 in a EG, just changed the whole interior loom. All electrics and clustor work but for some reason vtec isnt kicking in? I know if vtec isnt working the engine light would flick on? but i dont see the light.

can any one help or have ideas? im guessing it might be engine loom wiring, but i didint mess around with it.

is the solenoid plugged in?

is the engine warm etc?

oil level appropriate?

[imratedpg]

yeah warmed up the enigne everything looks pluged in and oil is fresh.

from memory the ECU checks for the following things before vtec will engage:

Engine temp
Oil pressure
Wheel speed above 35km/h

yeah had a look again no luck. any one know any place i could bring my car in brisbane for someone to check it out? I heard someone in rocklea does some hondas but not 100% sure.

if the interior harness is from a vti would you still need to run wires from the solinoid to the ecu?

[mrmango]

ummm might be a long shot but, clutch?

[yah mum]

wat does the clutch have to do with vtec engaging?

about the wheel speed.. if im in N, and pump the gas, i still get that vtec'y sound after 4.8k on my h22z, felt like the wheels were loosing grip too :P is that rite, or is it something else

Hmmm, maybe the B series engines are different, certainly doesn't engage with the b16a

did u run the extra wires to the ecu? as vti r missing some wires for a b16a wiring
