He didn't say he was 4th gear vtecing...
He said the check light comes on in 4th gear and then Vtec doesn't engage.
I'm assuming he means in any gear.
Otherwise that's dodgy

Hey guys,

I went out for a drive with my friend just before, engaged 4th gear got to about 6000rpm and the engine check light came on and hence no vtec.

I slowed down turned around and pushed it a bit in 1st gear and their was no vtec either.

The ecu isnt chucking out any code.
Well theres 2 long red flashes which are then followed by 2 quick red winks. ( I dont think this is an error code )

I am intrigued :evil:

Just a hint for you, don't insult someone then basically say "oh no offence man just kidding".

We aren't going to start presuming that Jase has sped on public roads before and he is quite correct in saying that you should not be posting your illegal antics on a public forum especially one which emphasises that it wishes to maintain a good image by abiding by the law and it expects it members to assist them in doing this.

Nibble on that apple.
