lmao aint it!
For those too lazy to search... Vtec is engages based on oil pressure, rpm, and vehicle speed. All three have to be alligned, so to say, for Vtec to engage. If you have a CEL on, the previous 3 paramaters wont matter. It will not engage.

based on oil pressure more details???
If there's not enough oil pressure, Vtec wont engage. Think about it, Vtec activates at 5500rpm on the y8's. At 5500rpm, you need adequate oil pressure just to run the engine without issues. Let alone for added valve timing.

okay make sense well ive had my car for a year now and ive never once used vtec then!
This is not true. Not trying to call you out just saying, I have a CEL on my 96 EX for a downstream o2 sensor an my vtec engages just fine. It's clearly audible.

Fix your problems and stop complaining. Your car is as crappy as you'll let it be. If the srs light is on take it to the dealer and get it checked out. If you're having idle problems troubleshot them. If your CEL is illuminated, pull the code and see what it's throwing, then go from there.
