Sounds like my car last year.

This should be your starting point. If the oil is at a good level, try cleaning the vtec oil screen. I ended up installing an oil pressure gauge and decided that my oil pump was going. Between that and fixing the small leak coming from the drain plug, I get 75 psi WOT with no vtec problems.
