Someone correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty sure vtec won't engage with a crank position sensor malfunction.... It's been a little while since I messed with Hondars....

Fix the Cel. Why would you not be conserned with getting the cel corrected first. Then look into the Vtec problem.

It's inside the distributor, just like every other fuel injected Honda engine ever made in the last 25-ish years.

And you really need to stop listening to people that tell you that the crank position sensor isn't important. It's a critical sensor.


And fix the O2 sensor too.
