vtec checks for...
Vehicle speed Rpm engine temp something else... I can't remember right now... Chances are it's a proboblem with the vtec pressure switch... the vtec solinoid... or a wire somewhere... Your best bet would be to follow the troubleshooting procedure out of a helms factory manual...

I think oil pressure has a lot to do with when VTEC engagues, maybe your oil pressure is too low.
You could also clean up the VTEC solonoid - if it is dirty, it might not work right. |

What did you come up to a conclusion that your VTEC is only kicking in at times? As mentioned above, it takes some inputs to activate. If you are only going by the "feel" on a SOHC VTEC, it really is almost unrecognizable. Try driving a DOHC VTEC, that sh!t screams when it kicks in.......

True that. The sohc only becomes noticable when you have an intake. I say to clean your solenoid and make sure all of your wires are connected properly. |

Dude, when you have an intake you don't have to go by the feel if vtec hits or not on a sohc you can hear it also...

I can hear and feel vtec kick in on my sohc.
it's just more noticable in the dohc because the have vtec lobes for the exhaust too.
