Default I got a VTEC issue!!

I got a B18C (type R) motor in my 92 si hatch and I having vtec issues, motor is brand new less then 20k miles. When I hit my vtec range which is at 5800 my vtec will work but sometimes engage and disengage kind of like as if where simotaniously turning on,off,on/vtec,pause,vtec you get the picture.. I was thinking more like a ECU problem or dirty vtec solonoid/bad grounding/poor(low)oil lvls... Can I have some of you peeps output??

Like you said I would start out checking the oil. If it doesn't seam to be that then check your VTEC solenoid. Do you have an aftermarket or flashed ecu?
