my car has about 36,000miles and today while playing with the car my vtec didnt kick in first gear. when i tried 2nd gear it kicked in at 5,7 but lost power at 7,000 then gained power again. it almost sounds like it was having a hard time. has anyone every heard about this or happened to you? :cry:

 

Is your car stock? or has engine mods??

 

check your ignition or fuel system.
make sure your oil is top up too since vtec relies on your oil pressure.

 

i have a AEM cold air intake,DC sports 4-1 headers, and greddy evo exhast

 

my oil was really low thats why the vtec wasnt working

 

:shock:

 

That's great that it wasn't a more serious problem!! These high reving engines tend to burn a bit more than usual..
