fixed

 

bump

 

please help guys... i wanna use vtec..

 

i had the same problem except that after the engine was nice and hot, well beyond 3 bars on the temp guage, there would be no problem at all. the problem ended up being that the pin that aligns the cam plate to the cam was bent slightly. cams were off for valve retainer replacement and i think it got bent when i placed the cams on the ground.


part #26 is what i replaced.

hmmm ok.. looks like a small cheap part so ill try that.. won't be able to get it ordered till monday did you replace the ones in the front as well or only the rear ones?

any other ideas

 

just the pins. numbers 26.

to save you the headache i went through, do it with the engine COLD.

 

ok, thanks.... so you had the same prob exactly? would go into vtec but then hit a limiter and throw a code?

 

my problem was that if the engine was NOT completely hot, not just 3 bars on the temp guage but hot from running for at least an hour, it would throw a p1361 code at higher rpm (it was usually around 7K) and go into limp mode untill the next key cycle.

 

if you did a seach you should have came across this thread https://www.s2ki.com/forums/index.ph...ic=145536&st=0

it was the same thing on turbo pwr's car. the pin was slightly bent and caused the cam plate to be off just enough to throw off the cam/crank sensors readings/pickups.

 

yah, i ended up finding that thread last night after you talked about that pin... seems to be the exact same prob.. thanks for the help
