Sometimes, yes. There is an error code that will flash if something's wrong with the VTEC solenoid. I don't remember which code it is offhand though, you'd have to look in the list in the reference section...
 
i'm not running one. i just went and checked to see. and i made sure my cel even worked. which it did thankfully. b18 swap, or b20 swap though. i want to get rid of my d series. and i can get a motor for fairly cheap. i just dont know which would be better.
 
well you would want ls/vtec on your b20. ad then you would get it tuned right so its more reliable. if it were me id go for a b18b1 or a b18c1 either motor is good but the c1 has vtec
 
yeah. but i kinda dont want v-tec though. only because my car has like no power, and my buddys b18a1 has power in the whole rpm range. and i want that.
 
Single-cam VTEC is a lot less noticeable then dual-cam VTEC. If your CEL isn't on then it's probably working fine...
 
yeah, im about to buy a jetta for like 1200 so i can rip apart my civic and paint it completely, since i'm doing a full recolor, and do the swap and all that shit. since i dont think i'm gunna wanna drive it lowered in the snow. but i got my allignment fixed =] now i dont get so pissed off when i'm driving it
