if you're feeling the "surge" and there is high-end torque to the car... then VTEC is working. Also, when VTEC does not work, you will get a CEL (check engine light).
But its up to you if you wanna go through all that work cleaning it.

But anyways, if your VTEC isn't working you will get a CEL, theres no way you can tell it's not working - at all, unless you get the annoying orange light.
