V-tec not turning on??
 
Hey guys need help on my d16y8. I just got back from Hyper sport racing to have my crx dyno. It went 103 hp without the vtec not turning on. I check all the wiring from boomslang conversion wiring kit and everything seems to be wired correctly. the only problem is that I got code 15 and 41. that would be ignition output and primary 02. would this two play a major role in not turning on my v-tec? does anybody have a picture on how to wire the v-tec switch and the solinoid? Is there any way to fix the ignition output without replacing the dizzy? And one more thing I just replaced the dizzy about a month ago and did not have any code on it. now that I had it dyno and tune my e-management. the freaken 15,41 code came on.

if im not mistaken, vtec engages through oil pressure. id check your oil level and see where its at.

Yes, it engages by car temp, an oil pressure. But if the car throws codes, it won't cross over, The car goes into a "limp" mode. Sorry about your luck. Fix the codes an you should be good to go

actually I just did and oil change about three weeks ago. If I'm not mistaken I think I put in 4 quarts of oil. is that enought?

yeah 4 quarts should be good...do you burn any oil?

crzy000 10-22-2005 07:36 PM

I don't think so. When I had it dyno, I didn't see any white smoke or anything coming out of the exhaust. Would it be possible that the switch can go bad?

You may need a new VTEC Solenoid. If the solenoid goes bad, then it won't kick in VTEC. You can get them on Ebay.

i wouldnt trust ebay, id rather just go to honda and pick one up over there. or you can take the vtec solenoid off and clean the screen on the seal between it and the head.

Dude, just fix your CEL. The problem doesn't have anything to do with the vtec system, but rather the ignition and primary 02 sensor like the codes imply.

crzy000 10-23-2005 05:28 AM

okay guys got the primary 02 sensor done. where do I start with the ignition?
