Just remebered that I have a damaged #4 injector. The plastic tip of the injector that sprays into the manifold is broken off so its not spraying correctly.

Could this cause the the car to studder during vtec?

Also im missing my knock sensor. Is the KS directly related to the vtec engagement?

help me out.

thats a lot of codes to be throwing

1 o2
2 o2
9 cyp
21 vtec silenoid
22 vtec oil pressure switch

has it always thrown those codes?

having a broken injector tip is not good either the spray pattern for that cylinder wil not be very good and the fuel may not atomize correctly resulting in poor combustion.

if you bring it up to Secret Services ill take a look at it for you
