This is happening to me right now as well on my 04 ep3. I'm taking it to autozone tonight to see what codes it's running. If you do end up replacing the vtec solenoid here is a video I found on youtube:


It looks like a pretty easy fix. I usually get my oem parts from hondapartsnow.com

Good Luck!
