Default D16y8 vtec not working need help plzzzz

I just bought my ek.. And i think my vtec is not popping i dunno if there is a lot of vtec cross over that you can hear.. But i dont feel it either. Anyways i have oil pressure, o2 sensor, butttt im running a lawn battery.. My question is, does that have anything to do with the vtec not working.. Do i need a bigger battery...

no battery would have nothing to do with it
