Someone help me out
 

Ok i posted awhile back about my VTEC NOT working, and its still not working. My setup is a d16z6 bottom end with a d16y8 head.
Bottom End bored .010
Eagle Rods
SRP pistons (10.5:1 compression)

Head milled .010
ZEX valve springs
TI retainers
ZEX stage 2 cam.

I stayed obd0 so i have a RPM switch hooked up to the solenoid. I DID buy a obd1 conversion harness and WAS using a P28 ECU, but this didnt fix my VTEC problem so i sold all of this (I was hard up for $$). Now im back to using the RPM switch with a PM6 ECU. The solenoid is good (I hear it clicking when i jump the power wire and solenoid wire off together). Oil pressure is GREAT! (75PSI @Idle!!) Rocker Arm assembly is good. Cam is good. What else could be wrong?! Are the oil jets different on the d16z6 and d16y8? Am i suppose to do something with this? I need help bad on this guys! The car runs fine right now, just NO VTEC. And i know VTEC is not working because i would jumper off the power/solenoid wire at 6,000RPM and no difference in power at all. OR i would leave the solenoid on and turn it off at 6,000RPM and no difference. All help is appreciated! Oh and no codes at all. Something mechanically is wrong! Wiring is correct also. Please help me out guys!! THANKS!!!!

Re: Someone help me out

how do u know it`s Not working.

Re: Someone help me out
 

And i know VTEC is not working because i would jumper off the power/solenoid wire at 6,000RPM and no difference in power at all. OR i would leave the solenoid on and turn it off at 6,000RPM and no difference.

Re: Someone help me out
 

run with an open exhaust and you can hear it.
not as noticable a difference with vtec like the b.

Re: Someone help me out
 

i dont think VTEC is working......when i jumper it off like i have been, i should feel something

Re: Someone help me out
 

Maybe try rigging up a vtec light to see if it is working? Maybe its just the lame vtec of the D? :P

Re: Someone help me out
 

turn it on while it's idling.

Re: Someone help me out
 

my bad... i just thought it was in g.d. and thats why he wasnt getting much help

Re: Someone help me out
 

The RPM switch i have has a green light to let me know it sent power to the source. So when the green light comes on the solenoid is open. I have done it when idling and nothing happens. It idles exactly the same way on or off

Re: Someone help me out
 

did u try to HOTWIRE it while it is running?

Re: Someone help me out
 

What do you mean by hotwire? If you mean jumper the power wire to the solenoid wire with a paper clip, then yes i have done. Ive done it at idle and it didnt idle differently, and i have done it at 6,000RPM and no difference, and i have left it on until 6,000RPM and no difference. Read original post for detail about what i did.

Re: Someone help me out
 

i am trying to say did u try to jump it off the battery instead of the rpm switch or anywhere else

Re: Someone help me out
 

Have u tried a differant VTEC solinoid?

Re: Someone help me out
 

yea i have bought a new VTEC solenoid, and still no VTEC. and no i havent tried it off the batery.....but i did jumper it off a 12V source. So thats just like the battery.

Re: Someone help me out
 

try setting it at 6800 then listen and feel at WOT(while Driving). you should be able to feel the difference between when the first lobe starts to fall and when the VTEC lobe kicks in. it should be a pretty noticable difference.

Re: Someone help me out
 

done it feels the same with it on or off....
