First of all, lose the caps lock. It makes it hard to read and almost detered me from helping you at all.

It is normal for a car to burn a small amount of oil in VTEC, but why do you think that it's doing so? Smoke coming out of the exhaust? If so, what color is it?

A "nock" sensor has nothing to do with your catalytic converter. It's in the engine and detects early detonation.

i know that is it burning oil because i check my oil everyday, and im almost empty. i have to put a quart of oil in it everyday. not everyday but everyother day. there is no smoke coming out of my exhaust. even when it is 20 degrees out, when i first start my car not a thing of smoke. i think it is weird.

that probly isnt only vtec....sounds like you have a bad seal....check for oil around places and you probly wat to replace your knock sensor...it wont help with oil thou

My car is doing the same thing. It has over 160k miles, and it is very common for Honda/Acuras to burn oil at that point. It might be a stuck piston ring as well. Im just not bothering to fix mine because in a week im dropping in a B16. So it probably has nothing to do with the VTEC.

check your pcv valve, or whatever that thing is. I had a bad one before and was burning a ton of oil.
