My car has the following symptoms
1) Vtec will only engage randomly
2) Spongy brake feel especially when stuck in a traffic jam. Also brakes will give out clutter sound occassionally especially right after start up.
3) Speedometer will only work once in a while. (odometer will only function if speedometer is working). Also, speedometer seems to be working only if aircon is on.
I did a search on this and found fragmented answers. However, after 'exercising' the brakes (as I found out in my search - braking hard at 80Km/hr), all of the sypmtoms are gone. Vtec will engage, brakes feel firm, speedometer and odometer will work.
I was informed by a mechanic that the Vtec is related to the ABS and that he needs to check the brake system. Is this true? I just need to get the expert opinion of Prime members before sending my X to the workshop.
I also bought a new sensor and is wondering if I should install it or have my brakes checked first.
And just recently a check engine light had come on. Your expert opinion on this is highly appreciated.
