Test the solenoid and see if it works. It might just be jammed up. If it does work then it's most likely a bad oil pressure sending unit. Apply 12v to the solenoid and you should be able to see the plunger move if the solenoid is ok. Older Hondas are pretty simple to diagnose and work on. This newer shit you gota have a $50,000 diagnostic computer to do anything on them including bleeding the damned brakes. Awards

I then replaced the leaky solenoid gasket, which stopped the oil leak, but the engine light was still illuminated & the engine would stutter at 3,500 rpm. Took it AutoZone for a free diagnostic reading to confirm it was the solenoid that was bad. Ordered a VTEC solenoid, waited a week for it to arrive, installed it in 15 minutes. Could then rev to 4,600 rpm to engage the VTEC in any gear -it's a manual gearbox- & enjoy the nice little performance boost. Saved $900 doing it myself. Awards

PCV valve right there & VTEC solenoid just below on back side of engine. Awards
