no power with vtec

[95sir]

Im running b16a sir II, when vtec kicks in there is no power gain.....I had a good friend of mine drive it and he said I was right....."there is no pwer gain or loss" It does sound strong though......(normal vtec) What could this be?

 

[CRX_B16B]

take your valve cover off and look at the vtec cam lobe and see whats up.

 

[95sir]

I did that and it looks normal is there anything special that I need to look for

 

[CRX_B16B]

are you sure it engages?

 

[95sir]

Very sure

 

[CRX_B16B]

how are you so sure? not to be an ass.

 

[95sir]

thats cool you can hear it engage @ 5800 rpms everytime and I guess it just sounds like vtec(you know what I am saying?

 

[CRX_B16B]

wish I did I'm poor. I'm guessing you mean the sound of the exhaust note changes and such?

 

[95sir]

This is my first b16 and first vtec period but I ve heard others......Shit i dont know it just sounds the same as othe vtec mot0rs

 

[CRX_B16B]

I couldnt think of what the fuck it could be? sorry.

 

[civicious]

vtec just kicked in, yo!!




got oil? check your oil level.

 

[CRX_B16B]

I think vtec would be the least of his worrys then

 

[95sir]

the oil level is fine still crystal clear

 

[95sir]

ANY IDEAs

Your fuel or Air or engine temp madness might be out of wack? I don't no though! Never had a car that had vtec in it!! But I heard vtec can be affected by insufficient air and fuel!!

 

[CRX_B16B]

on that note it could be a faulty O2 sensor.

 

[95sir]

I am not throwing any codes though

 

[CRX_B16B]

Dunno?

 

[SLA]

How about engine temp?

 

[95sir]

I am not running hot from what i can see on my temp guage....even when the car gets to normal temp it still is the same as I have been driving it for an hour...
