I will put and end to all of the useless bull**** that is being posted here.
First off, it's a 97' so why bother jumping the connector when he can drive to Autozone or someplace and have them plug a diagnostic tool into the OBD-II plug and tell you what code it's throwing. they do this for free in case you don't know.

im 99% sure hx no vtec.... on a 97, if the valve cover doesnt say vtec... sorry to be the one to tell ya...
Your 99% full of ****. Don't post if you don't know what the **** you are talking about okay newbie. Not all VTEC equiped cars say VTEC on the valve cover. Nothing pisses me off more than people who post misinformation.
