wideb16crx Posted February 2, 2008 Share Posted February 2, 2008 i am having a bad vtec problem that i cant solve, when i have a full tank of gas it engages perfectly, however as my gas goes down it starts to cut in and out and eventually stops engaging all together as i get close to empty. i have no clue what could cause this!

Hatch92 Posted February 6, 2008 Share Posted February 6, 2008 usually if it is cutting in and out it's a pressure issue or the filter inside the solenoid is clogged. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideb16crx Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 i took the soleniod off and it was clean...my oil pressure gauge isnt hooked up but i cant see why vtec would work when i put gas in it if i dont have pressure Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cranny Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 id say your having fuel pressure issues if anything. your fuel pump might be getting weak , orrr , your fuel filter is so clogged it wont let enough pressure through. put a fuel filter on it.

wideb16crx Posted February 7, 2008 Author Share Posted February 7, 2008 i already put in a new fuel filter like a week ago so its not that... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatch92 Posted February 7, 2008 Share Posted February 7, 2008 have you changed the fuel pump? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideb16crx Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 no i haven't changed it i was told if a fuel pump goes out it completly goes out... it doesn't go out gradually Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cranny Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 no engine light at all? at any time? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wideb16crx Posted February 8, 2008 Author Share Posted February 8, 2008 yea it does show a check engine sometimes, the only thing is it shuts off while im driving which i guess means the problem was corrected. im not sure, my next question is should i go with a walboro fuel pump since i can get one for around 100 shipped when an oem one is going to be more expensive?

Hatch92 Posted February 8, 2008 Share Posted February 8, 2008 if it's intermittent it should store it in the ECU so you should be able to download it. Edit: Walbro 255lph is real common when building a car. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
