Everytime i get my car up to 6000 rpm's it just sounds bogged down and it jerks very hard. Does someone have an idea what it is so i know what i am dealing with when i take it to the dealer!!! Thanks in Advance!!

 

Please, its VTEC. Sounds like your car is not warmed up when ur hitting 6K rpm's. The temp. guage needs 3 bars to exceed 6,000 rpm's. Good luck.

 

If the car is low on oil it won't VTEC. Check your oil or you may be buying an engine. 1Fast99Si is correct also.

 

VTECH? take it back to that store you bought it at. those phones can be troublesome some times.

now if you were talking about vtec and your s2000, you need to allow it to warm up first

 

i agree whole-heartedly with all of the preceeding statements.

 

Hey I know some times I am a freakin IDIOT!!!! Sorry for the misprint it is VTEC. And it is running fine but it just does that in that rpm range. And it also has enough oil!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

is ur motor heated up like 3 bars on the temp gauge

 

yes my temp guage is at 3 bars

 

3 possible suspects, two have already been mentioned.

1. Engine Temp
2. Low oil
3. Faulty Vtec silinoid

 

See if you've got a dipstick in your F20C. Many of the S2000 engines came with one as standard equipment. If you've got one, check it and let us know what it says.

If your engine has a normal oil level and if your engine still doesn't reach 9000 rpm in a smooth manner when warm, you've got a more complicated problem. The VTEC solenoid, the MAP sensor, aftermarket headers, bad fuel and many, many other factors will cause the car to avoid switching to the higher rpm cam profile.

Is your "check engine" light on? Is it flashing?
