i've noticed that vtec sometimes doesn't engage in 2nd and first gear.....but it always engages in third....anyone know what the prob could be?

 

Is your car properly warmed up? More specifically, oil temp/pressure must be up. If you are in a very hard corner, it is possible VTEC won't engage. If this happens when the engine/oil is fully warmed up, it is probably something else.

 

Oil was at proper temp.........i was turning slightly trying to vtec it in 2nd but it didn't engage

 

Did you check your oil level? Get your dealer to look at it.

 

i checked my oil level immediately.........everything was fine

 

Check your oil first. Then check any of the wires going into either the VTEC solenoid or the VTEC pressure switch, if any of those have a loose contact, they may not work under fast acceleration (usually first and second gear).

 

I had a problem once v-tech never engaged, so i took it to the dealer and they said that my timing needed to be adjusted, so they fixed it no problems since then, but the oil temp and oil level reply`s are very correct always check those

 

ya thats the first thing that came to my mind so i checked out the oil right away...........i had been driving for 15 mins so temp wasn't the problem
