No Vtec and 6700 rev limit...help ASAP - Honda Prelude Forum

CrazieLude · 11-11-2003, 11:55 PM

My friend just did a swap in his lude and he got it running but is having a few problems.

1. No speedo (due to VSS)
2. Code 17 (VSS)
3. No Vtec
4. 6700 Rev limit
5. No Power stearing (No belt)

He had an H23, it had 240k so he swaped for an H22a, shifted from 3rd to 2nd blew it, got a new long block and installed this one himself. So its the same tranny, ECU and all that. What could be the problem with no vtec and the 6700 rev limit?

1-4 are all for the same reason - no VSS. The ECU won't engage VTEC as it's not getting a suitable (fast enough) signal from the VSS. Power Steering (after you replace the belt!) may also be affected, as it's weighted in accordance with the speed.

Good Luck

thank you very much!

Maybe because he's using an H23 ecu ? Since you said he only swapped the long block and has the same ecu / tranny and etc.

Could have something to do with the VSS like CDR mentioned but the main culprit is the H23 ECU.

That ecu is not programed for VTEC. The H23 does not have VTEC so how can it switch to the VTEC cam profile if it was never programed to?

It's common sense, he needs a P13 and to fix the VSS.

I'm not sure why he only got the longblock if he had an H23 before. Longblocks are for people who already had that particular engine. The longblock does not come with things like the upgraded axels which are a good idea for H22A's. Honda engineers wouldn't have designed the VTEC model with stronger axels if they weren't needed.

Good luck.

I believe Brian is running the P13 ecu. He swapped it in with his last swap. She is just saying it is the same P13 ecu as the last H22 engine he used.

I'm gonna jump on board and say Brian needs the VSS. AND HE DIDN'T KNOW THAT

must not be able to read T's helms very well

Mark94 · 11-12-2003, 07:23 AM

Oh.... the way it was worded it seemed like he was running the H23 ECU.

If that's the case, then it has to be the VSS, and it is probably running in limp mode.

Hi Mark!

Now I will tell everyone that Brians car is FBP and VTEC won't engage because it is blurple.

CrazieLude · 11-12-2003, 09:55 AM

haha. Thank you for clearing that up Andy. He has the VSS, its just in wrong or not all the way. I watch Jason put it on.

The first time he got an H22a swap it was the FULL swap with ECU, and everything. This time he just got the long block. We're not THAT stupid to now know that the H23 ECU wont' run (well at all) with the H22a. lol.

So did you fix the VSS yet?

Mark94 · 11-12-2003, 12:33 PM

Hey Andy, I messaged you on AIM about a month ago and never got a response so I gave up on you - bish!

Sorry Theresa, the way you worded it, it sounded like a no-brainer. Sorry I didn't give you enough credit!

man I got your message but I never see you on. I added you into my buddy list but you are never there

Mark94 · 11-12-2003, 12:45 PM

I can't get on here at work and I finally got internet at home so that is the only time I'm on AIM.

Everytime I do have the chance to log in at home you are on - LOSER!

Any luck finding a Lude? I was actually going to ask if you were interested in mine.

Check out this thread. It is dedicated to me by Warren. Tell me your opinions of that car.

I read that yesterday, it looks like a nice car for $6500. Do you have emissions testing in Kansas? If you don't I think that car has your name all over it.

Would you keep the Jeep also or get rid of it?

Sorry for the off-topic convo Theresa.

Mark

MR.CLIFFORD · 11-12-2003, 02:13 PM

I am definitely keeping the jeep. I'm really excited about this winter!

Kansas is very liberal about emissions. I just talked to a friend that bought a yukon out of state. She said it was a ten dollar fee and took all of 1 minute. I think I'm set to go there. I'm nervous about flying out there and driving the car back.
