Re:Help, vtec wont come on
 

The head is plugged, it has been an LS Vtec motor for some time now. It used to work. Yeah the metal shavings are from when I had my old block when I spun a rod bearing, they're leftovers I guess.

Re:Help, vtec wont come on
 

maybe some of those metal shaving works there way into the oil passages for vtec?

Re:Help, vtec wont come on
 

Yeah, dude, That's what I was just thinking the other day. I'll try and take them off and clean them out and see what happens

Re:Help, vtec wont come on
 

Cleaned every passageway for vtec and it still doesnt work. Anything I am missing?

Re:Help, vtec wont come on
 

try taking out the whole vtec valve housing and clean it up?

Re:Help, vtec wont come on
 

Already did, checked eveyrhting possible and still nothing. Very weird!!

LS Oil Pump Good for Vtec?
 

On an LS Vtec motor is an LS oil pump good enough to activate the vtec? I mean does it push out enough pressure?

Get a new selonoid. It might be burnt out. Just take a 12 volts power and tough the wires to see if you can here anything clicking on. The the selonid doesn't click on then its broke. Find a new one.

Re:Help, vtec wont come on
 

so you say you can trigger vtec w/ a 12v source?

maybe the vtec wire came loose @ the ecu.

NO. lol that might be it!
