Vtec oil pressure switch (Delete)
So i broke the probably 20 years old Oil pressure switch in my 93 EX AT...
And its way overpriced where i live so i wont replace it, is there any other way around this?
(120.00 usd in direct conversion)
The car is running, no check engine light, but i guess im out of Vtec!
I searched around and i seen a trick to "jump" A4 to D6 and bypass it but i cant afford to damage the ECU neither i know how to do any of that...

If you think a good mechanic is expensive, try hiring a bad one

Look for a suitable replacement part at an auto dismantler/recycle yard?
The same pressure switch fits many many different years and models of Hondas.
I don't know which version of the cars you have in Brazil, so I can't say for sure what models you could find it on, but looking in a USA catalog I see the version we had was also used on Accord V6 from 98-12, various Civics from 92-2000, and even more years in the Odyssey, Pilot, Prelude and Ridgeline too.

But yeah i guess its the best solution, but there are no guarantees that it will be a good part and i dont know how to test it!

Re: Vtec oil pressure switch (Delete)
You would have to be able to test continuity across the wire terminals while applying about 50 PSI to the threaded end, not very easy to do.
It would probably be much more simple to find one, screw it into your engine and see if it works ok.
The switch was not a high-failure rate item (IMO) so chances are good that any you find will be good enough to use.
