I have a 96 integra gsr with a b18c1 i dont have anything done to it be a breather and a short ram intake the vtec in it has recently either stop kicking fully or kicking at all i thought of getting the valves adjusted on it to solve the issue but i have got to thinkin that that may just be a waste of money anyone have any idea of anything that i could do to solve this issue

 

check the ground comming from the vtec solenoid. mine was loose and messed with it kickin in

 

Change your oilh:

 

what makes you think vtec isnt working?

 

a check engine light doesn't come on for that?

 

HOW do u know the vtech isnt kicking in? And wheres the vtec solenoid? My engine light always comes on after the engine swap, [same OEM one, just less miles and it actually worked.]

Maybe my ghetto mechanic doesnt know how to hook it up right/>???

 

Here is the main list as to why it could not be working

No MPH Being read
No RPM Being read
Knock Sensor not connected
Assembly filter clogged
Solinoid stuck
Oil level too low
Lose wire
Plug rusty

Anyone of those can be the reason. Go down the list and see what happends. Adjusting your Valves will be a waste of time.

 

Everything Honura said, but I would do a valve adjustment. Especially on a car thats 10 years old, and probably never had one.

If it was working fine recently, Oil Level is a great possibility.

 

i never had a cel when the ground came loose
