Will VTEC work without oil pressure sensor?
Re: car run WITHOUT vtec oil pressure sensor? Yes, until you replace the switch, VTEC will not work at all.
What does VTEC pressure switch do?
VTEC stands for Variable Valve Timing with Electronic Control. The variable valve timing oil pressure switch is a normally open switch located at the VVT solenoid. When the VTEC oil pressure switch closes, the voltage should drop to zero. This is how the PCM knows if oil pressure was applied to the VTEC system.
What does the fuel shutoff switch on a Honda Civic do?
The fuel shutoff switch on your 2007 Honda Civic is a safety feature that shuts off fuel flow from your fuel pump if you ever get in an accident. However, sometimes the fuel shutoff switch can be triggered if you come to a hard or abrupt stop, or even if you hit a bad pothole.

Can a bad oil pressure sensor cause low oil levels?
An Oil Pressure Warning Light will often accompany oil pressure sensor faults. Like any other sensor or switch in your engine, eventually the oil pressure sensor will have repair issues that need to be addressed. Failing to recognize the symptoms of a bad oil pressure sensor can lead to low oil levels, which can be very problematic for your engine.
How does the oil pressure sensor work in a car?
The oil pressure sensor is hooked directly to the oil pressure gauge on your instrument cluster. When lower than normal oil pressure is detected, the pressure sensor will make the gauge in the car reflect this change. An Oil Pressure Warning Light will often accompany oil pressure sensor faults.
Why does my Honda Civic shut down when oil pressure is too low?
The mechanic claims that there was no damage done to my engine because “these newer vehicles have a mechanism that shuts down the engine if the oil pressure is too low.” So does a 2002 Honda Civic have such a mechanism? GM vehicles had this feature. Your Honda doesn’t. The mechanic owes you a new engine.
Where is the oil shut off switch on a Honda?
On the diaphram type oil shutdown systems, found on some models of the older “G” series Honda engines like the one you have, eventually the spring loses tension in the on/off switch. When the engine starts, gravity and vibration take over and the on/off toggle falls down to the off position.
How to check the low oil sensor on a Honda?
Then you are not familiar with Honda engines. The Low oil sensor gets sludged up or malfunctions in other ways.
