went to chekers to my saprize they had one 6 bucks gunna replace it tomarrow mornin, do you know if i have to drain all the oil for this? got a filter and oil just incase.

 

Now aren't you glad you checked the CEL code?

 

hehe no doubt, i will admit i had no clue that you could do it this way sorry for being ignorant , my baby will be running nice soon timeing belt comeing next week and fixing this lil vtec problem.

 

Ok guys i put the new Oil Presure swich in as well as oil and filter. i just have a quick question as one is the average vtec rpm point it kicks in and what is the stock gsr redline. need to make sure im atleast near these think im off not sure.

 

4400 RPMs

redline is 8000 RPMs with fuel cut at 8200.

 

ok well as I said i put the new switch in well i went out for a test drive i drove it hard to see if the CEL would pop back on. when i was comeing back from the test drive it felt like i hit a rev limitor at 7000 rpm... i dont know how lol... any ideas what it could have been, i had my hand on the shifter and it kicked it out of gear, never did that at 7000 rpm.

 

Hello ...when did your vtec kick in? Sounds like possible limp mode, dunno for sure. If you have low oil pressure as stated before, that could cause no or late vtec engagement and possible limp mode. Hope you can check your oil pressure with a guage to find out for sure that its not too low. If you jacked up your engine lately with a floor jack and dented your oil pan up, that also could cause low oil pressure by obstructing the oil pick up. Hope this helps, if not , disregard everything after Hello.

 

you know... there is a dent in my oil pan wasnt done by me, also the pan is taken from a junk yard (has the markings of being bought from one) so maybe i should look into replaceing this? and i will check my oil presure with a guage this weekend when i do the timing belt :\

What is the oil pressure sapoze to be at, dosnt tell me in my tech manual.

 

Minimum of 10 psi at idle, 50 psi at 3000 rpm.

 

Everything youre describing is symptoms of low oil pressure.

CEL at high RPM, early cut, late vtec...

How many qts of oil are you putting in? Replace that pan as well...the dent is no good (depending on the size).
