Are you getting any check engine lights?
No vtech, it's VTEC.

He was asking because there is a oil pressure sensor on the Vtec solenoid that will prevent it from engaging if oil pressure is too low.

there is no air sensor in the air box...
however if he's talking about missing the Intake Air temp sensor (on the intake manifold) being missing, that will stop vtec and cut your revs early.
Check your trouble codes and go from there

check ur codes and also check ur oil pan for dents if its blocking oil from the pickup vtec wont engage, you have to have over 55 psi or so for vtec to engage

Ugh...that shop sounds retarded. Either check the codes yourself or have another shop do it and give the number of the code. Then you will know what's wrong.
