Default Check Engine light and V-Tec

I was just wondering if the check engine light affects the V-Tec. I have 3 codes an O2 sensor EGR valve and Catalyst Inefficiently just making sure that everything is working ok

You can still have VTEC. Not all codes will put your car in limp mode. I wouldn't think those would put you in limp mode either. Do you plan on fixing those? What mods do you got?

I thought an O2 sensor would cause that....

Fix ur problems man, your gas milage is probably terrible right now. An o2 sensor for me was $50 and use some carb cleaner to clean ur EGR.

My VTEC activated fine when my oxygen sensor was dead... Check your oil level.
