sounds no good Arthur! but hopefully nothing too serious..

btw, went to a dealership today to check out the two TL's they had if it was 6spd for the wifey (they were auto). turns out the guys that work there never seen or heard of such a thing . so one of the guys go's in and searches on the internet and says there's only one 6spd TL in the whole country...i told him he failed at searching and went on my way...

will a blown vtec solenoid cause the car not to start...?
vtec wasn't engaging, so I didn't think too much of it, I was just trying to get my car back to nashville from fayetteville. then, I clipped a tire on the interstate right before exit 22 on 65 headin towards nashville (did very minor damage, was gonna revamp the fenders anyways) but when I pushed in the clutch and the revs dropped as I pulled off the exit, the car died. it tried to start twice, then it wouldn't even try and turn over. nothing when I turn the key, just the starter click and dash lights.
battery has plenty of juice...
help?
Does it have oil in it?Since vtec wasnt working and now it just clicks?

Can you hear your fuel pump coming on?
Are you getting spark?

didn't noticeably hear the fuel pump, but I'll check again here in a bit.
plenty of spark.

I'm here at alex's farm in fayetteville. we're about to head up to the shop and start checking things out. it was too late last night to start at things too much.

If you don't want to spend a G on a Gendron bar then the next best thing is the Saner fsb. I picked mine up for $275 shipped.

Well you will love the the V3's. I don't even want to drive another S without coilovers on any more. If you are using the car just for the street, you probably don't need a fsb. You can dial out the oversteer/understeer with the coilovers. Fsb is mainly needed to keep the car planted at the limit on the track or autocross.

Have you got that all squared away (KW settings) Wynn or are you still making adjustments?
