Ive got a OBD1 B16 that i swapped into an ek hatch about a year ago and just the other day my Vtec stopped working as soon as it kicked on... the CEL came on and it was code 21. vtec solenoid.. so i went to the ecu and made sure everything was connected properly and it was.. went to the motor side and made sure it was grounded and it was. still nothing.. i replaced the connector that goes to the solenoid and the wire that runs from it all the way to the ecu. i even replaced the wire that went into the rywire harness i have... still nothing.. then i decided to call up one of my friends that works as a tech for honda. took it to him. they replaced the ecu. and gave me a new vtec pressure switch and solenoid. checked the oil. checked for continuity in all the wires and still nothing.. any ideas? its a stock p30. my vtec has worked with out any problems until now... i just recently replaced the head gasket, valve springs and retainers, and all the necessary gaskets. its got ITR cams. and I-H-E.. thats all i can think of at the moment... thanks in advance!

anybody?

try resetting the ecu. where is your pressure switch grounded? how long are the wires you used?

my pressure switch is grounded on the thermostat housing.. and the wires are 18 gauge and just long enough to reach the ecu... maybe 18 or 19 inches?

is 21 the only code? if your cluster or your vss is screwy, vtec won't engage.
