I am official stumped on this Check engine light with my car.



I am currently throwing code P00100 VTC Oil Controll Solenoid valve Malfunction


Image


The car turns on and idles but the code stays on.





Specs
99 Civic hatch
06 K20z1 with 42k on it
Wire-works engine harness and conversion harness.
PNF ecu with Kpro V3




Currently what I have tried:



Sent the Wire-worx engine harness back to get checked out and it was good.



Used an OEM (uncut) engine harness from a running car


Cleaned the front screen on the head



two different VTEC solenoids


a few different Calibrations for the car. (hondata supplied ones and tuned k20 from a friends car)



Two different VTC sensors.



Replaced the VTC Cam gear and re timed the motor. (code went away first start up but second time i started it came right back on)


I also tried to disable the oil pressure switch.


Also tried a PRC ecu with Kpro on it and still the code came back no matter what!





I am stumped on what to try next! Any suggestions would be great!

Are you using an 02-04 harness, or and 05-06 harness? Have you followed the troubleshooting steps in the Helms manual (factory service manual) for this error code?

Pretty sure it was the cam angle sensors that were causing the issue.
