Re: vtec not kicking in (EG_Jefro)
the vtec pressure switch sensor could have went bad or the vtec solenoid is bad or it just needs taking off the motor and cleaned(there is like a lil screen behind there and gets dirty) but normal if the solenoid is dirty is just bounces in and out of vtec (cuts in and out)
