Title: vtec solenoid issue
Post by: drivin96 on July 25, 2010, 06:56:51 PM
so im gettin a code 21 and 22 with my old vtec valve and the new one any ideas ?

backround info: driving down the road check engine pops up , reads code 21 took off car cleaned out wit break clean and replaced worked for the day , next day light came back on and oil light to , ran codes got both 21-22 this time , wire on oil pressure switch popped off replaced havent ran since due to the vtec solenoid, i replaced it with a used on off my buddys old motor and smae shit  .... up shits creek w/o a paddel right now need this thing to get around

"and oil light too"

sounds like you need to check your oil pressure

if the wire isnt connected the light wont come on. only time it would is if it came off and grounded out on something

witch it was , it was grounding to the intake mani the plastic clip wasn't attached anymore and i pulled my line to the turbo off and got one hell of a flow so it is pumpin my main concern now is the vtec vlave, i tested the solenoid it opened and closed no prob but it's still throwin the code's ( i pulled the ecu fuse ,didnt change a thing)

Um, I'd still be focused on that oil light coming on...

Not to beat a dead horse, but vtec needs a good bit of pressure.

Also check the wire from the solenoid to the ecu. I have also had pins get loose in the ecu plugs and throw random codes

Unbolt the bolts to the solenoid and make sure no trash is in the screen. :?:

I was gonna say that, but I hoped he was perceptive enough to check that while swapping out

There's trash in the screen every time you take it off?

no its clear every time, i just do it cuz im ocd abut cleaning i guess

ok so up-date oil light off, code 21 off still has code 22
gunna keep fukckin with shit till i figure it out any ideas on what to check?..... so far i checked the contacts in the clips they look cear of oxsidation gunna try and check oil pressure today......

also the code will come on when car is off but key is in the on position, and when the motor is running

car is all set now engine lights off and oil light off

oil pressure at cold idle = 60psi
oil pressure when warm =20 psi..............is this to low?

No.... only if your idle is >2000rpm lol.

Lower than 9psi per 1000rpm is considered "low"

Is oil pressure > 55 psi in VTEC?

ill check later and let u know

I had a gsr that used to fall out of vtec on really hard turns found out the pickup would come grab some air and fall to like 40psi. and a good rule of thumb is 10psi per 1000 rpm
