Just pop it out and dip it in some soapy water, that should fix it.

Re: vtec cleaning?? (PredatorGSR)

vtec is dependant on rpm. maybe what ur experiencing isnt vtec i would say maybe the timing is off and the car is jerking. what is it doing exactly?

Re: vtec cleaning?? (billyhoe)

timing would effect the vtec an cause the hestitation in the vtec? how much off would you notice a significant difference?

What do you mean in and out of vtec?

And what do you mean by "cleaning" vtec?

check your oil level, vtec is dependent on sufficient oil/pressure and if your low on oil this will cause the vtec to cut in and out if there isnt sufficient pressure.
