you need a certain amount of oil pressure for VTEC to engage, and if its leaking, chances are youre losing some of that pressure, so im assuming it most likely could... someone correct me if im wrong.

either way, REPLACE IT whether it fixes your problem or not.

see if your low on oil first. if there is no oil on the dip stick then that is most likely why. is so add oil then see if VTEC came back to normal

yeah vtec is touchy...if you are low on oil or have some certain cel's then it wont kick in. i would simply check your oil first.
