First off... It's VTEC, not a vtech phone.

Does the CEL light work?
Was the car warmed up?
In gear and in motion, not just sitting in neutral reving up

two people beat me to the joke, but i'll try to be helpful.

check your oil levels and oil pan for dents. if there is not enough oil pressure vtec wont engage.

I you want someone to help you, don't act like a dick and they might want to. I'm not calling you a dick just saying that you're acting like one.

This site is for people who need help and know how to ask for it the right way to get help, not for people who need help, don't search for their answer and then when people put up a possible fix just shoot them down rudely.

I think you'll have to start searching for your answer now, if you didn't notice no one is trying to help you out. Sorry for your luck.

Do we win a prize when we get to a certain rep level or something? Seems like everyone is crying for it these days.

You don't get a lack of proper grammar or punctuation? Must be a Canadian thing too eh'? This thread was tainted long before I got here.
