I can't visualize you listening to that, Flash.

You're right, I usually don't. 




I much prefer the version with David Bowie

[Joseph Davis]

Eh.  While I appreciate the influence he's had, and some of his style, aside from Dead Man Walking I can't say I like anything he's ever done.

[Joseph Davis]

I liked the Labyrinth, I was speaking musically.

[ratcityrex]

I liked a few of his songs, maybe 3 of them.



Now get your fucking vtec working and lets see some rippers. First I would pull the vtec solenoid check/clean the screen. Then I would put a cheepo oil pres. gauge on and see what happening.

The VTEC pressure switch (VTP) is a poor man's oil pressure gauge.  If you aren't getting CEL 22 then you need to check for blockage in the head, especially in the orifice tube under the cam cap.  I can't remember offhand but I think there's an o-ring that is needed as well just like the DOHC VTEC motors.

HaHa I got old code 22 on the way to work yesterday. I thinks it's time I put the vitara motor together and move away from y series failure.

If it happens when you let off the gas pedal, CHECK YOUR OIL LEVEL HIPPIE.

Oil level is easy to check on my car when it stops smoking i'm two quarts low. so I added some. It burns because ive got a big old scar running down cylinder No1 from cracked ringlands    being lazy I sourced a y8 with a spun bearing on a local forum seeing how there in abundance. dropped ina donor piston and rocked that shit. some months later a heard a slight knock dropped the pan found shaving then promtly went to fowee's basement and stole all all his bearing from the a6 blocks down there.  Theres a y49 rear uarter down there, It scares the fuck out of me. 
    so I picked out the choicest bearings put them in and ran it for 6months then I gat an oil light that wouldn't go out unless I held it at about 2500rpms  so I went to Oriely and bought some sealed power bearing seeing that fowee's basement didn't have any anymore and the Y49 scared the fuck out of me
 
   "takes a deep breath"  put those in and replaced the oil pump with one from a not so abused y7 block that I have.
   This motors been through enough it's time for it to rest.

Planning on cleaning vtec solenoid asap, then I will check oil pressure. I have no cels, so I will check that orfice. I just hope to get this damn problem fixed so I can throw down some good numbers. But I did hit 160 whp with no vtec. I believe i was around 151 wtq. Thanks for the advice JD/AJ appreciate it.

[ratcityrex]

So he called me today and while I was on the phone with him he pulled the screen off and there was some metal in the screen. I told him get a shortblock from chris, and call it a day! No good y series oil pumps! 190K+ on a y8 im supprised it hasent eaten its own bearings sooner. Check your oil press, and I bet its low. 

[ApexSilver06MR]

Like five tiny flakes, which is normal, or an actual amount of metal?

[ratcityrex]

Hey said just a few flakes.

[Joseph Davis]

All engines are going to have a flake or two, it's when you have a collection that it's a problem.

The screen wasn't that dirty at all. It had a tiny amount of flakes. Im guessing from my old turbo that took a shit. The solenoid had fresh oil in it, so hopefully my oil pump isnt going out. Gonna test soon. Ill post up the details.

[glustic]

Finally got around to installing oil gauge.

20 psi at warm idle, around 70 psi at 3000 rpms, and 75 psi at 5500 rpms.

When we were on dyno it was changing maps. Any ideas?

[speedjunky01]

pressure is good. . .

waiting for JD to save the day, best of luck man

I'm thinking it might be a short problem. I'm planning on putting 12v to a4 on ecu and see what happens.

I didn't read everything, and I don't know shit about hondas....

Your last post you said you're gonna just hotwire the solenoid, right? If so, that's what I would do if it's just a 1 wire on/off deal. Power it on and see iif it works. That alone will tell you if it's the vtec system that's messed up or if it's something else causing the ECU to not turn it on.

On the dyno we hotwired solenoid and it clicked. It even changed maps. Maybe the solenoid is fucked? Either that or the rockers are fucked? Guess ill pull VC and have a look.

it took you longer to type that than to pull the vc and check

Definately a short, hit vtec last night. And now its not working again... Fuck shorts...
