maybe someone took out your cams in the middle of the night and ground down your vtec lobes to small nubs and put them back in?

 

 

Well, in all honesty b/c I can bump it.

I personally know some of these guys, so Im also talking to them via PM.

I know some of the ideas provided, may and may not have relevance to my problem. Some of the posters are morons when it comes to the S2000 ie "check the plug wires" guy, sorry it's a fact.

I am weeding out the good and bad information. If you don't wish to continue adding info, then please don't.

Unfortunately I don't have ample time to work on the car. So Basically Im trying to get all the ideas together and then start going through the suggestions one by one once I have a day where I can set down and begin.

Im not a fan of starting a project and working on it for a few hours and then leaving it and picking it back up the next day or two days later.
Sorry.

Thanks to all who have contributed, I WILL update with further information hopefully by tomorrow or tomorrow evening.

 

SOB I bet they did!
I did stay the night in Nashville.......

 

But you already said that you've tried the fuel injector cleaner. It definitely takes less time to pop the hood, pull the MAP sensor plug off and plug it back in securely than it does to run to the store, buy some FI cleaner and pour it in your tank. Plus, it's a free fix and has my own personal stamp of approval!

Do it!

 

Actually I did the FI cleaner on Thursday. and this incident didn't begin until Sunday afternoon.

Also I don't drive the car daily.......it usually sets in the garage. And has for the winter....(4.5-5months)

on a better note Im taking it at 5pm for a scan. To see if it logged the problem with out throwing a CEL.......

Ill do the MAP sensor before I go, and test it on the way.



It has to have something to do with Vtec - it runs great until you get into range. That's what is the most frustrating part of it all.

 

I had a very similar issue. But I had a CEL on. It turns out that the Secondary 02 sensor was bad. After replacing it, I was in VTEC All the way to 9k.

 

Okay so the verdict:

VTEC Solenoid

I got home, got the car, MAP Whacked (nothing), drove over to the shop where I have some of my work done, he plugged in the computer and we drove around engaging vtec and it's the solenoid.

Clogged? or just Bad. I dunno. Im just gonna order a new one (as long as its not like $500 ) and then have him to replace it if the screen is clogged (I'd do it but he will be changing out my rotors,pads,lines, and fluids for the Dragon, so Im just gonna let him do it all at one time.
Also gonna change out the plugs, it probably needs it.

 

anyone know how much vtec solenoid is?

 

google is your friend....
