HELP: Vtec engagement

[racingtopher]

My vtec is not working, but i also have an engine light that does not go off.

I have a B16A OBD1. pr3

What conditions does the vtec kick in, i know at around 5000, but what are the other conditions, like temp, oil, etc.

thank you.

you have a CEL. Check the CEL and tell us what code it is. Read the articles about the diffrent codes and how to pull them.

5700-5600rpm is what yours should be kicking in at

But i need to know what wire to jump on ecu to see CEL code.

and I want to know the enironmental factors that have to be, in order for the vtec to engage.

thanks
