I'm not the smartest guy on all this stuff, but I do know VTEC works off of oil pressure. Might be the VTEC solenoid, could be the ecu-are you sure it's a VTEC ecu? Chipped for VTEC, if not? I'd make sure of those first. Oh, and did you fill it up a half inch too high on the dipstick? If so, I'd pull the plug real quick and drain some off til you're good again. Jus my .02

I know what the problem is... you need a replacement VTAK for the rear to mate to the VTEC in the front. Since they run asynchronously, if one fails then the other tries to handle the load, failing catastrophically....

Like this thread.

1. Take it to a reputable shop before you fuck something up

2. Failing that, blast it with piss
