Kinda long I apologize. I was leaving work and in a hurry as usual to go nowhere neways i decide to do one of my patetened e-brake slides well this one was a good one but the dudes who plow our lot put a big pile of snow too close to the side. I kinda get nudged in it and had to rock out of it. NEways on my one hour south about half way I notice my car kinda feels like it is in limp mode and no vtec kicking in but I am throwing no CEL. This has never happened to before ever. I get off the nearest exit pop the hood and everything looks fine. I decide to reset ecu see if that helps and it did. I was back on the highway and it felt when vtec kicked in it kinda shuttered in the high rpm range. So I wanted to hit one of those spary it yourself deals and I notice my WW bigmouth front is full of snow like from earlier as in no air to the radiator=bad right. Well I clean the lude and everything seemed to be fine. Do you guys think my vtec selenoid is going or do you think it was from the snow blocking the air???? I am puzzled/worried. I was just saying to someone how well my lude was running too damn... Alright sorry for the long post Peace

Do you have a CAI? That might have gotten snow on it too. I would blame that big pile of snow more than anything. If theres blocked flow to the engine that would cause it to sputter big time.

Jon403 thanks i think soo too I have driven it today and it feels fine and yes I have a AEM CAI which might have gotten wet??? perhaps We shall see. Basically need to stop being a Jack Arse in the snow. BTW nice Lude Jon. Peace

Did you car ever get up to full temp? If it did not that would keep vtec from engaging.
