Default VTEC Sylenoid Valve

The other day my 99 accord started hesitating on me and it would NOT go over 4k rpm so I had to granny shift everywhere. Anyway, I just got back from the dealer and her said it's my VTEc Sylenoid Valve. I figured it had something to do with my VTEC. I asked him to sell it to me and I'll just put it in my DAMN self and he refused. Said it was special order and they had to do the job.
MY QUESTION::

HOW COMMON IS THIS PROBLEM????

Tell the dealer they suck dicks! :fawk:

Try another dealer or something?

Since its a 99, try source one from a junk yard or something

He likely didn't give you the part and the responsibility of fixing it because in order to repair it, the job requires a moderate amount of engine disassembly. This is not a common problem, hence it's a special order. Why it has malfunctioned on your car is as good as a guess as mine.

If it was defective, it would have likely failed earlier than waiting 3-years into the cars life.

Good luck.
