well i converted one of the crx's we have to an ls vtec set up, and i have done a few of them in the past but this is the first one that has given me problems.

B18a bottom end
B16 head
vafc
still OBD 0

i tried running the line to the back of the head.............no vtec
i tried removing the pressure switch and running it there............no vtec

the vafc shows output to the solinoid, and i hear it click but its like no oil wants to go past it, i changed pressure switches twice and now am boggled...........


could the machine shop have fucked up anything in my head when they had it????

i cannot think of anything else that could be wrong, is there any other variables i have not covered???????

 

I pmed you back.

Sounds like cam cap oring

 

yeah i saw that from an oldpost of yours on H-T, im gonna check it out.

he throws codes for
Knock sensor-doesnt have one
O2-needs a new one
vtec oil pressure switch-although i have changed it twice already


thanks john

 

WELL I HOOKED UP A GAUGE AT THE TOP OF THE OIL LINE AND THERE IS ZERO OIL PRESSURE, WHAT THE HECK COULD THIS BE!!!!

i know shitty rod bearings will do this but what else, im gonna take all the fittings off and see if anything is clogged up in them

 

ohhh man...

I am sure you already know but:
1. Resolve oil pressure issue.
2. Resolve all codes
3. Vtec should work

Good luck man, sounds like your working with a nightmare motor.... I have been there.

 

shitty rod bearings will give you bad oil pressure????

 

Problem solved thank god...............the fitting that goes into the back of the block, the 1/8th Bst had a normal hole on the outlet but about a pinhole on the inlet coming from the block so of course there was no pressure.......................im just glad i didnt buy the piece HE did, problem solved VTAK is back!

 

Wow, good to hear that.
