Afternoon guys...yes I do know the vtec has to be up to temp and the oil pressure needs to be right. And this was the case as the temp was on half and and the car was properly warmed up. Took it back to the garage today and he couldn't fix the problem for some reason...I mean he's done a good job changing the clutch but he has messed up somewhere putting it back together....

Booked in for a diagnostic at the vtec specialist he has been dealing with integras and type r's so he should be able to source the problem fingers crossed... The car is running fine just the vtec is not working and rev limit has gone down as well as the cel. Thanks for the help guys I'll keep you up 2 date

Also have another issue my key is stuck in the acc position in the ignition...it happened last night after a visit to the shops. The key wouldn't come out. I've ordered a new ignition barrel with a new key but I was wondering whether there is an immobiliser issue when I change the ignition barrel for the new key or should I just be able to straight swap it?

why a new key?

To fit the new ignition barrel and door lock

if it has the Honda immobilizer a new key will just mean you wont be able to start it

A 4th gen won't have an immobilliser built into the key, don't worry yourself there.

Ryt guys found out what was wrong! The oil pressure switch was broken during the clutch change!! Cost 45 to put it right including diagnostic so pretty happy with the price. But still miss the old clutch tho

The oil pressure switch on the side of the VTEC solenoid? If so that would make sense.

It is a shame you don't like the clutch. £40 more and you would have had the OEM Honda Accord Type-R clutch kit that many of us here use.
