I was back at the dealer. Freaking vtec sensor died on me. I left the dealer at 4.30 was back at 5.35 (after service closed) I didnt get to drive my car for the first week i owned it. Good thing that was my 7th car purchased there at Corona Honda. They gave me a Pilot to drive around.

Anyone else have this problem with their Fit?

 

wow, never heard of anything like that! your missing out..

 

not yet I hope it wont be like that for my car lol

 

thats bad...just beat that pilot up

 

What makes you think that the Vtec Solinoid crapped out?

Is it b/c you can not feel the Vtec engagement! That's normal for the FIT! You basically can not feel what is commonly called changeover.

Was the Check engine light on? if it was then you might have a problem of the electronic sort!

Just trying to help, I'm a Honda Owner and a mechanic!

 

Crappy, sounds like bad luck. So is it repaired now?

 

Yes, I'd also be very interested to know how they (or you) determined your vtec sensor died.

 

after about thirty minutes of driving. The CEL came on and the governer kicked in right when the vtec was to engage. would'nt allow me to drive or rev past 3800 i believe it was. took it to the honda dealer i bought it at. and their tech's are the one who said it was the "sensor". Warranty. And they said there were about 10 cases in california like mine. If I had a scanner I would scan the reciept they gave me

And c'mon guys, 31 and been tuning my own hondas since 18. Give some people some credit. I'm not all that new to the game. Don't get me wrong. I am no pro. But I do all of my work on my DC and EF. And they still run like champs.

 

THat's what warranty is for! well if any engine sensor craps out the computer will go into what is known as LIMP mode, allowing you to just drive to your destination but limiting your ability to destroy the motor.

OBD2 is Great for this!
