yeah you might need a valve adjustment, and it could also be mis firing...check engine light on? pull out the valve cover and check for play in the rocker arms. and get the valves adjusted anyways.

Start by doing a valve adjustment. Read this link https://honda-tech.com/zerothread?id=618786and do it yourself or take it to shop and have them do it. That should be your first step.

VTEC doesn't do anything until you rev the engine much higher...
