First of all its spelled vtec.

How is your oil level?

Clean off your vtec solenoid if necessary.

vtec looks for:
engine temp up to normal
oil pressure good
knock sensor (if you dont have a p28 or other chipped ecu)
Next time this happens go straight to Autozone or somewhere, where you can get the cel readout. Or you can do it yourself by shorting the plug under your dash above your ecu. And watch the cel for the 1st and 2nd set of numbers. Then you can look it up on here and get it figured out.
