I had a buddy with an Integra that had this EXACT issue. He had to get some pretty extensive work done on the head in his case. I'm trying to remember what it was, something about the mechanism that switches lobes? That sound possible to you guys? He had to have something removed and replaced that controled either the cams physical switch over, or the electronical switch over. Same thing though, he would run to VTEC and the car would all of a sudden stall, sputter, you name it HUGE backfire when I was in the car with him. Either way, it was leased and the dealership fixed it that time, but they had the car for almost 2 weeks. Three weeks later his timing belt snapped and did even more damage to the system, they ended up replacing the whole upper 1/2 of the engine almost. Two months later it was repossesed! Some people have all the luck.

Most cars beyond 1996 are OBD2. For instance, early 1996 VW Jettas were still OBD1. From June 1996 on, they became obd2. Newer MkIV Jetta's use their own diagnostics system, the VAG-COM.Scourge said:
ActionJackson, OBD-II stands for "On-Board Diagnostics 2". OBD0 cars had a light that blinked. The number of blinks it made represented an error code. OBD1 cars had to be "jumped" before the light would flash the code. OBD2 cars have a plug that a special computer can be plugged into to determine the problem. They are more extensive than the older systems, unfortunately, they're less appreciative of mods too.
Get the code(s) scaned and tell us what it says. It will be a letter followed by four numbers.

Mike, honestly, why call someone a *** because of what kind of car they drive??? And actually I prefer JDM's company to yours ANY DAY!!!Black Mike said:
He's a sensible human being and you aren't. And who cares what he drives, without even seeing each of your cars I would put money on his beating yours because for some reason, I'd be willing to bet that your one of these guys with a 2.2L Cavalier with an intake, a muffler, and 346 lbs of stickers.
Just shut up man. I know I just stereotyped but I'm probably right!
He's stereotyping. Typical response from an asshole.CoBIZZLE said:
I wouldn't. They've become the third least reliable cars made. C'mon, window regulators fail and the window falls into the door.
What can I say, everybody loves me.
Keep in mind I drive a 125bhp 2.0 that is missing due to a fouled plug.
Ditto.
I officially take back my prior "typical... asshole" statement.
I don't think he's talking about car company.
