the only way to figure out why it came on is to see what code your throwing

It was probably VTEC oil pressure. Mine did it a couple times within a few days...then stopped doing it. I'm guessing a bad oil pump (i'm running a D15B7 non-vtec bottom end with a D16Z6 head)

here's an idea, don't drive 100 mph on public highways and interstates. wherever you were going could not have been that important

well apparently i learned recently that I didn't pull the oil control jet out of the black of the block...so not only is my VTEC not activating but I was throwing that code as well...the head is coming off sunday and that damn oil jet out...so maybe that will solve your problems. You didn't forget to pull the oil jet out of the back of the block did you?

my mini me came with the car. ( i dont think the previous owner pulled the oil jet) my engine never let off that distinct "vtec" sound. the engine just slowly got louder.
