VTEC gone, CEL - Honda Prelude Forum

well, I just got my h22 about 2 months ago... Had to swap transmission cause the one I got had a bad ring in 5th gear and kept popping out. Things went good with that...

But, now I am throwing code 22 or 12.. pretty sure its 22, but its odd how it seems like flash 1 is a bit long!

Now, I already searched and took off my soleniod and oil pressure switch... i cant find anything wrong so far.. i reconnected my ground elsewhere on the vtec oil pressure and hve checked the wiring... I continue getting this code.. Reset the ECU many times so far.. Nothing does the trick and my light comes on even before cranking the car... Even after being reset... Any advice? I am going to try and recoonect my wires once again and make sure evrything else is connected.. I have been at this for about 2 hours now and cand figure it out... Now, before i swapped the transmission everything was fne with this issue... Now, I am in safe mode.. 6500 cutoff and no vtec or power up top.. Its also sluggish at about 1000-3000 rpms..

status is it was a wiring problem.. My blue wire on ther vtec oil pressure switch somehow got magically cut in 2.. I honestly cnat figure out how or what caused it.. But when i pulled it off to rewire it.. It was chopped under the protective rubber cover... I saw ur other post man... If ur getting the light before the car cranks then its definently related to the wiring and not something wrong with ur car...
