Ve Help! My cams just stop switching on.

poyzpi · 05-13-2009, 01:30 AM

hello, first of all thanks for looking and trying to at least help. i have been running my VE 1 issue after another. finally i made it run like a champ BUT i don't know for some reason why it stopped hitting vtech. my car is still running right now but i just don't feel and hear the vtech as how i used to. what do you think is the problem? i checked out the wiring of the msd window switch and they are still all intact. fuses are good. what do you guys think this is? pleae help.

i tried to run my car and checked out my msd window switch if it's running and it says that cams are on but i don't feel it and hear it.

i think because you said "VTECH" you deserve a backhanded pimp smack to the face.
anyways I would check the resistance in the actuators.

oil pressure? is it low on oil? that will cause it to not switch, but then again you are running MSD so that shouldn't be an issue? IDK....sorry wish I could help

Also make sure the settings are correct on your msd, and to verify it is getting a tach signal.

The problem has been figured out. Thanks guys.

Nx2k GTi-R · 05-13-2009, 03:48 PM

well what was causing the problem!?

GregV · 05-13-2009, 04:41 PM

o2 Sensor wiring had melted on exhaust. The solenoids are wired into the factory harness, on the same circuit as the o2. Kept blowing the fuse.

Taurus45acp · 05-13-2009, 07:05 PM

thats a new one...

GregV · 05-14-2009, 02:55 AM

The MSD was installed inside the car, and the signal wire run through the harness. The solenoids were receiving power and signal from the factory harness.

Sorry taurus. LoL! my bad guys. it was not the vtech that's engaging, it was the VVL. it was a bad dream driving a honda with a vtech. at least now i'm awake and i know that i still have my VVL! LoL.
