little late to do that... maybe he's boosting the car??

if you cut the +12 V wire going into the selenoid vtec will not engage nor will your CEL come on....

just don't rev past the engagement point until you get the solenoid, or is that too much to ask?

i do drive it below the engageing point but when im crusin down the highway the revs are right at the vtec point, how badly would the car run without vtec, couldent be much difference then what it is now (b16a)
