Sorry but it wouldn't let me post in the "Repair" Forum.
As for my delimma. When i hit 6000 rpm or so it feels as though its choking and won't go anymore. Is this due to a VTEC problem? Also, when i'm driving my car and put it into neutral, it idles at 2000 rpm and only comes down when i make a complete stop. This problem just started occuring about 2 weeks ago. Its a 98 GSr.
Any help would be greatly apperciated. Thanks in advance.
I wouldn't worry about the idle thing, last i checked if you are in neutral above a certain speed your car will idle a little higher than normal. Mine does the same thing. As for your VTEC, are you getting any engine codes? Do you hear the solenoid valve click when VTEC is engaged?

I checked the oil, its a little dirty but pretty much to the top. I also tried to disconnect the negative from the battery to see if the ECU would reset, but to no avail. I can't hear the vtec solenoid either, like i said earlier, when the car hits around 5000 to 6000 rpm the vehicle feels like its choking and won't accelerate pass that. There is also no Engine light coming on.
I previously installed a indiglo gauge previous this incident, 2 days before, Could it be that i might of forgot to connect something. I would just like your thoughts before i take it all apart again.
All i can say is check your wiring... I suck when it comes to that kinda stuff, and I mess up all kinds of obscure stuff when i start wiring new shit in. If you put it back how it was before and your VTEC comes back well then u'll know where u went wrong.
The way I see it if it is wired up correctly and your VTEC isn't working your ECU would tell u why. But if it's not "in the loop" well the ECU can't give u much info. _________________ If you feel like you're in control, you're not going fast enough. - Mario Andretti
