Default No Vtec on 4th gear

Like the topic said...I'm not hitting vtec on 4th gear on the freeway....All it does is stays at 5.5 rpms ..... but my 1st,2nd,and 3rd gears are fine......a friend of mine told me its the oil pressure...but he wasn't sure...what do u guys think? I drive a Em1 b16a2 and this started happening after i came from LACR. I did about 20 runs that night and I also installed my header and intakemanifold that same day...maybe that did something to it......any feedback will help thanxs

Well maybe I didn't run the car that much...just about 13-16 times ...Is it possible to fix that problem? the oil pressure?

Not having oil pressure could be your low on oil?
Anytime your too low on oil and you dont get oil pressure vtec wont engage?
Also how do you know vtec isnt engaging?
