so that test running a 12v line to the solenoid would work aslong as u held the revs up at 1500-2000 rpm? ...... cars suck! this is why i got away from turbo.... never ends!

But, the 12V feed will allow you to 'hear' if the solenoid works. The cams may not change(due to low oil pressure) but it confirms the solenoid is working.

ah yeh i get wat ur saying.... so if there's power being sent to it, and the solenoid is working, then only problem which i may have is vtec not engaging in all cylinders....
hmmm

yes you may hear a click, still the pin in the solenoid may be jamming, little rev tests the rest of the spool valve.

no, that just another posibility
what exactly is your problem
VTEC can have many different problems, but the same symptoms
-
well im unsure if its engaging at all.... u cant hear it, and u can feel a bit of a pull once u hit around 5-5500, but i dont think its vtec, i think its just the same pull u get of any engine once u get up to around these revs, same as i had wit d16a8....

probably bet start with your very 1st post in this thread,
connect a wire from the vtec solenoid, ( the single wire connector going to the solenoid ) not the Vtec oil pressure switch.
run the wire into the car, even if its through the drivers window, connect it to a test light and connect the other end of the test light to ground.
go for a drive, non of this lets blow our engine in Neutral stuff
when you hit VTEC the light should come one
some time its hard to tell if VTEC didnt kick in, But in a NA VTEC car you most defainanlt can hear it when it did not kick into vtec ( stock exhaust ),

its the exhaust note you listen to,
they sound different in high revs on low cams.
-
You could take out the Air Filter resonator and listen to the difference in sound between revving in Neutral, and revving in gear.
The resonator is that curved air intake piping you can simply lift out.
[edit] scratch that, you have an aftermarket intake (unless its just a panel replacement?).
-
no the sump doesnt hav a dent in it as far as i know..... changed oil the other day and it was all good...... and yeh it was the same b4 i changed the oil... just another question, if the light showed power from the wire to the solenoid, it still wouldnt mean the solenoid was working though would it?
