Ive noticed a vtec engagement problem in my car. When travelling around a semi-sharp to sharp turn either left or right, my car will not engage vtec until the stress in relieved from either the right or left tire. Vtec normally engages right at 5500 rpm, but when taking turns fast in my car I have had vtec engage as late as 7000rpm (when car straightened out and stress was off of tire). The car engages vtec right at 5500rpm when travelling straight so no problems there. If anyone has ever had this problem or can help me out I would appreciate it. Thanks

Pssst!

Check Oil Level of Engine.

might wanna check oil pressure as well. vtec needs at least 55 psi of oil pressure to engage. if ur cornering real hard not enough oil is being picked up yet also reducing oil pressure

how many miles you got and do you change your oil regularly? if not you may have a clogged pick-up on the oil pump. the oil presssure check would point to this

check the oil to see how much u have. then change it.
