I got to the first redlight (about 20 seconds into my drive) this morning after the car sat outside in the cold all night. and this dick in a Neon started to rev on me.... anyway I floored it and it wouldn't go past 6500rpm.

What should I do? Did i break my vtech?

 

Not funny. This has been done like 10,000,000,000 times before. Close your thread.

 

Coolant temp.

 

 

Yes it's broken, you're a bad, bad boy.

 

How would I check the coolant temp?

 

Take of the radiator cap and dip your willy in the fluid.

 

Don't thrust this fools.

Yes, you've lost your vtec activating system, so your revs, (as the vtec is the revs between 65000 and 9000), are lost.

To fix this, you have to:
A) start the car next morning.
B) open the hood
C) Caress the red part of the motor. This one showing 'Honda' text.
D) Keep caressing (with the engine runnign) for about five minutes.
E) The revs will return to the vtec, and will attach themselves after the 6500 ones, so they will be ready for you again !!

(Note: To verify that the 'loosed' revs are attached to the vtec system, check if you have three squares in the left part of the dashboard)

 

Scot,

It sounds like you have broken your pringle rod. No worries though...as this is a common problem with our cars.

You can go here: http://www.prindleandspleen.com and order replacement parts.

I think they have a group buy going on for velveeta pringle rods which are somewhat more flexible than the OEM ones.

Best of luck with your car!
