Vtec won't engage after winter storage

[leskie_]

That's basically it. Vtec worked fine when I parked it, 90 days later and it won't engage. I haven't done any modifications to the car during that time.

is it throwing a code?

Doesn't appear to be.. And it wasn't when I put it away.

Just seems strange that this would happen while the car was just sitting

all the connections good? mice didn't eat your wires right? :lol:

 

[Samurai_Blue]

did you change the oil?

did you change the oil?

Bout a week before I parked it.

 

[Samurai_Blue]

change it again

Check oil pressure, check the vtec solenoid screen, make sure the vtec solenoid wire has connectivity to the vtec solenoid pin on the Ecu (look up the pin number depending on the year of your car).

How long did you drive it after taking it out of storage?

The oil might still be too thick to fully engage the vtec.

Took it for a 70 mile round trip
