94 honda accord ex vtec

[sergeptx]

Oil is leaking from the vtec solenoid. I replaced the o ring and added a little extra silicon for extra seal. The cars runs slow specially on highway. Any ideas?

any check engine lights ? does the motor go all the way t redline if you wanted ?

 

[sergeptx]

yes check engines comes on checked code and it gives me top dead center i believe. does go all the way.

 

[sergeptx]

oh yeah and it still leaks

 

[AHHVTEC]

well you need to fix the check light and redo the gasket

 

[sergeptx]

thanks, vtec solenoid has nothing to do with then?

 

[AHHVTEC]

well if you have a check code for pressure switch, then yeah that could slow your car down because vtec wont engage

 

[sergeptx]

i really appreciate it, thanks

you should never put anything on a o-ring. it could cause it to not seal properly.
