I have a 96 nsx that has been sitting for a long time because of a title dispute. I have the car covered and i have it started and driven around my condo complex monthly to keep it charged and we go to the gas station once every 2-3 months and put some fresh gas and stabilizer in it and drive it late at night on the interstate for a little while.
I have been injured for almost 2 years and i cannot get in the car driver's seat due to a crushed right heel and ankle so a friend of mine helps me by doing the driving. The other day when he started it and drove it down the street the "check engine" light came on and i had a mechanic friend come by and check the code and he said it was something like " check the VTEC SOLENOID VALVE". Has anyone else ever had this happen and what was the problem and what all did it involve as far as fixing it (parts,labor, cost)?
I would appreciate any help as i am unable to get around and physically will not be able to drive( if you want to call it that) the car for another 9- 12 months.
Besides that, i will have paid off the car in 7 more payments and the guy that sold me the car still hasn't sent me the title since june of 2007 so i cannot register the car and enjoy the car that i bought 4.5 years ago and have made 53 of 60 payments of $499.66 a month and insurance of $174.21 a month.plus i put $8000 down and paid $1600 to ship it. The grand total for my misery is $50,031.60 and counting! And i am sure it is depreciating quite a bit, especially now that a new one is coming out!
So does anyone know what a "check vtec" code amounts to when the check engine light comes on? Thanks so very much?
