Default Honda Accord Type R, vtec not working ***Help***

Hi, i'm a new member and have own a honda accord 2.2 type r vtec.
I have had the car for 2 years now without no problems, it has always been serviced and very well looked after.
Jus recently my engine management light has come on and my vtec only works sometimes...
Can any one shed some light on what the problem is or how i can fix it.

Many thanx

Sham

by engine management light I assume thats the same as a CEL (check engine light)? If so, did you get the code read thats it being stored in the ECU?

Also, the engine you have is a H22A7 right?

That should be an OBD2 system so you need a scanner to read the code. I assume you are not from the states right? In the states some parts stores will rent out or even read the codes for you for free.
