Disconnect the 1P connector from the VTEC sole-noid valve.
Measure resistance between the terminal and bodyground.
Resistance: l4 - 30 O
lf the resistance is within specifications, remove theVTEC solenoid valve assembly from the cylinder
head, and check the VTEC solenoid valve filter for
cloggrng.
. lf there is clogging, replace the engine oil filterand the engine oil.

Tension Adjustment
CAUTION: lt*ays aa;j"t the timing bett rension withthe engine cold.
NOTE:
. The tensioner is spring loaded to apply tension to thebelt automatically after making the following adjustment.
. Always rotate the crankshaft counterclockwise whenviewed from the pulley side. Rotating it clockwisemay result in improper adjustment of the belt ten-sion.
. lnspect the timing belt before adjusting the belt ten-ston.
1.Remove the cylinder head cover.
. Refer to page 6,46 when installing.
Remove the upper cover (see page 6,'19).

Removal
NOTE:
. Replace the timing belt at 105,000 miles (168.000 km)
according to the maintenance schedule (normal con-
ditions/severe conditions).
lf the vehicle is regularly driven in one or more of the
followlng conditions, replace the timing belt at 60.000
miles (U.S.A.) 100,000 km {Canada).
.In very high temperatures (over 110'F.43'C)
. In very low temperatures (under -20'F, -29"C)'
! Turn the crankshaft pulley so the No. 1 piston is at
top dead center (TDC) before removing the belt (see
page 6'21).
. Inspect the water pump before installing the timing
belt {see Page 10-14).
1. Remove the splash shield (see page 5-7).
2. Loosen the mounting bolt and lock bolt. then remove

Engine removal is not required for this procedure
!!!s@ Make sure iacks and salety stands are
f ta"eata"ea propetty and hoist brackets are attached to the
correct positions on the engine.
CAUTION:
. Use tender covels to avoid damaging painted sul-
faces.
o To avoid damage, unplug the wiling connectors
carefully while holding the connector portion to
avoid damage.
. To avoid damaging the cylinder head, wait until the
engine coolant temperature drops below 100"F
{38"C} before loossning the tetaining bolts.
NOTE:
o Mark all wiring and hoses to avoid misconnectlon
Also, be sure that they do not contact other wiring or
hoses, or interfere with other parts.
. Inspect the timing belt before removing the cylinder
h ead.
. Turnthe crankshaft pu lley so that the No. lpistonisat
