Bought the car, test drove it and this thing CRACKED into vtec! Drove it around for about 20 minutes before making the deal. Drove fine! On the way home on 95 i was gettin on it and it hit around 6500 and it the rpms were taching out it sounded like. Of course, this car redlines at 8 so it had more to go. Stopped at the gas station, put a hose back on which i thought was the problem. It didn't do it then, 10 minutes back into driving it, it did it again! Now ever since then it would do it on and off. If i havent went into vtec for awhile, when i would do it it would do it fine.

It does it alot on the highway, if i drop it and down and hit the gas and go it will go into vtec and it will tach out most of the time on the highway if i do that.

Now, im pretty sure i have no vacuum leaks. I recently was reading up that my car only takes 4.2 quarts of oil, i usually put 5 1/2 in. ( thats when it reads full on the dipstick ). I know vtec is powered by oil pressure ( atleast thats what i heard ). If i have to much oil in the car, that could defintely effect it, correct?

On the vtec solenoid i have a wire comming down from under the solenoid cover. Just hanging down, thats it. I was told by some people on here you don't need it, its fine. But reading in a book, that piece is called a VTEC SOLENOID CONNECTOR. To me, that means that it isn't even kicking in if that isnt working.

Let me know if you had this problem with your SI, or anything with vtec!

Also, as my name says i used to be a 5.0 guy, so im slowly learning about Hondas, i wanted to get the best of both worlds!

Seriously, WTF is wrong with you that you're racing on the street like that (and your dad is apparently just as devoid of common sense) and then posting about it on a public forum? Is he trying to bond with you by buying a stock 240 and street racing with you? Are there any intelligent people in your family?

Normally I'd help you more. I'm not feeling it right now though. Anyway, If the solenoid isn't connected, there is no way VTEC is engaging. If you're reading full on the dipstick, you should have no problems with oil pressure assuming nothing major is wrong with the engine though. But that doesn't matter at all if the vtec solenoid is not connected to anything.

And by the way, thanks for spelling 'solenoid' correctly. For some reason 90% of Honda owners can't do that. Don't know why. You're already ahead of the game.
