so obviously while i was on the dyno VTEC was working perfectly. no CEL's, no engine failure... just perfection
then i go drive down the road on my way home only 10 mins later and i hit vtec in 2nd gear and i get a CEL, the tach goes crazy, and the engine dies.
i know rick already said its prolly something with the ignition but im wondering if it could be ANYTHING else. obviously i want this fixed already, so im wiling to try almost anything.
rick can you tell me exactly what to do to test this stuff? ive got a mostly free day tomorrow so ive got time to do it, i just need to know exactly how.
i took the distributor cap off earlier today and it had a lil bit of rust colored powder which i know is bad, but why would it work on the dyno but not on the street? btw, i got that dizzy like a lil over a year ago and i put less than average miles on my car so i hope that bish hasnt crapped out on me already
