Vtec oil pressure switch

[93Akkord]

Wheres the Vtec oil pressure switch suppose to be located on the H22? I believe this is the root of all my non-engaging vtec problems. Cause I'm getting a 22 CEL code.

if your looking at the dizzy side of the head, its directly to the right of the vtec solenoid. it looks like the coolant sensor on the upper radiator neck, its a 2pin round plug sensor screwed directly into the block.

if yours is missing, youll be leaking oil, unless its plugged up...

try taking the solenoid assembly off of the side of the head (three 10mm's) and clean the screen and everything out, it made my VTEC start working when i bought my motor.

It's on the left side of the block by the dizzy. In the pic in the lower left you can see the rear water neck for reference.

ahh ok..thats a good look. its the green plug right? yeah I have one green plug coming from the harness that has no where to plug to. I'll check win I get home in 15min to see if the switch is there..

Ya, if you're throwing a code just clean it. My friends VTEC was not engauging but he was not throwing a code..... turns out the oil was the wrong viscosity and was too thin. It would not build enough pressure to engauge the selenoid when it got hot and thinned out.

green plugs are usually ect.

ect?

engine coolant temperature sensor

ahh ok

So the green plug I circled red...isnt it?

[cp[mike]]

green plugs on the engine harness usually go to ECT sensors, the one on the thermostat housing and front upper radiator neck...

but yes the red circle is the vtec oil pressure sensor.

i cant remember what color the OEM vtec OPS plug is, it should be green... ive always used grey, since any round plug from the engine bay will work, and grey is way cooler than green.

I just looked at it and I believe its plugged up with a bolt. Any one have a picture of where it is on the H22? I dont want to take out the wrong bolt now lol

the picture above with the red circle is a picture of an h22.

FYI, my euro-r doesnt have a spot for an oil pressure sensor

damn I should have gotten the euro lol...it sucks though when they swapped in the engine they didnt even run a wire cause they didnt see that there was a plug..which its plugged up so I wouldnt have expected them to see one. so now I have to run the vtec oil pressure switch wire to....I think I might have to wait on that one. lol..cause I also have to but the switch...more moneys

whered u get the motor from? hmotors warrantees some stuff... theyll send you new sensors if you complain that they came broken, tell them they didnt even send you one
