What exactly is wrong??!!

[BkzTafetta]

Ok so i have a few things going on with my car.....First off...i did the 5spd swap and after i tried adjusting the idleing for the 5spd it never idled the same again..sumtimes it just stays at 1200...sumtimes it jumps from 1k to 1300 repeatedly like 3 or 4 times and then goes down to a normal 700-800.. Only CEL is my 02 sensor; sensor 1

NEXT ISSUE

Now after my clutch has broken in, i have no vtec/motor is running super sluggish...not too sure which one it is....i dont here vtec engaging and it takes forever for my car to reach atleast 5k.....so i checked for codes and p055 VSS 1 popped up along with the 02 sensor.....so i checked my plug and nothings broken and speedo still worked....then i took the VSS out cleaned it with throttle body cleaner, put it back in and deleted the code.....thats solved....i took a couple spins around the neighborhood and checked for codes again....no more VSS code so thats solved...but my cars still running sluggish....so for the conclusion i have no more CELs on execpt for the 02 sensor...now what do i look for???

not to state the blatently obvious, but are you low on oil, vtec wont engage if theres low engine oil

i forgot to add that.....no im not low on oil i checked....

hmm. do you have a 5spd ECU? again, sorry for the obvious. but maybe your using a DX 5mt ECU without vtec in it? what did you take the tranny from? i'm not good with this stuff at but trying to give some input on my very very little knowledge on the subject at hand

 

[BkzTafetta]

yea...i had everything wrking....vtec and all and out of the blue it just stopped wrking with no check engine lights

sorry i cant help more, but i did find this on hondaswap.com

"The VTEC pressure sensor is basically an oil pressure sensor. Insufficient oil pressure, low temperature, a faulty switch, a plugged or faulty solenoid;

All could cause no VTEC, wiring and ECU aside.

Check your oil, make sure you're up to temperature. If VTEC doesn't work, check your wiring. After that, get a manual and start making your way down the trouble shooting list."

does this mean that i may have no vtec with no CELs?? or wat?

 

[2000BlackCoupe]

possibly, like i said, i'm not too familiar with engines processes and problems and whatnot. hopefully an OG will chime in and help more than i can

 

[BkzTafetta]

true.... :-/....thanx anyways broo..u brought more ideas to mind...

did you say your o2 sensor code was for the first one? that is the primary which the computer uses. you lack of vtec and acceleration trouble may be due to your car running in limp mode....

if it was the secondary after cat o2 sensor it wouldn't matter....
