Hoping I can get pointed in the right direction and fix this issue.
Feels like I'm hitting fuel cut @ 5500 in 1st and 2nd. Havent tried 3rd gear, but I assume it will do the same thing.
Any ideas?
Just bought this car, and as far as I can see it is completely stock. I have a slight oil leak around the VTEC solenoid, and VTEC doesn't seem to engage from what I can feel from 4800 to the 5500 cut.
Thanks!

is the cel on? could just be a timing issue, or fuel filter...

No engine light, no other running issues.
it feels like fuel cut. like I've hit rev limiter.
to be honest I dont know how many miles are on the fuel filter, could be original. but the cut out is so sudden I am leaning towards something electronic. especially given that it is always at 5500.

Had that issue awhile ago. Speed sensor... didnt throw a light but was faulty.. make sure you have tranny fluid in yourr tranny too.i picked up a new VSS from ebay for about 28 bucks. ..

^ speedometer won't be working if thats the case, which would cause problems. vtec won't engage if the speedo doesn't work and it will run in limp mode.
OP, your saying it's got the stock D16z6 motor in it and for sure NOT a swap?
for Vtak to pop you need...
-correct ECU/basemap. your stock should be P28
-correct oil level/pressure
-working speed sensor / speedometer
-working solenoid

Yeah this thing is completely stock. It was adult driven and well taken care of.
Not sure where to go with this. I think I'll just throw a new VTEC solenoid and gaskets in there and see what happens.
Is there a way to bench test the solenoid? Apply power and it should move, yes?
