No VTEC

Hi guys,
My name is Dee and I'm from the UK. This is my first post as I've been searching the Internet for remedies I stumbled across this awesome forum!

My problem:

I have a 2005 Civic Type R K20a2 engine that has no Vtec

It will not rev above 5500 rpm.

I have checked the oil and it is fine.

Any suggestions are most welcomed.

Thanks,
Dee

Re: No VTEC

Does it have any cel codes. The solenoid might be bad.

Love the ep3r's by the way.

Re: No VTEC

Update:

Fixed.

It was due to the inlet pipe which feeds the airbox being blocked up!!? This was not letting enough air into the engine, effectively starving it...

PS there were no engine codes as the engine light was not on.

Thanks for the help mate.
