I never vtec'd when the engine is "cold". I always wait but I didn't know you had to let the third bar light up before vtec, these times there was probably only 2 bars......... problem solved







more than likely I will not revisit this thread because I don't want to see all the flames. I genuinely didn't know this
Hahah it happens to most people especially if not coming from another vtec car.
I found out on the test drive about waiting for it to warm up lol.

yep. But now I know it has to be fully warmed up, not just not cold. I appreciate the help!

It only has to be above 3 I believe, but personally I wait until it's at full operating temperature at least

AP2 has much more bars on the temp gauge. AP1 3 bars is at operating temperature.
