is your car in limp mode? engine light? oil pressure?

I wouldnt see why you would chip your ecu unless your motor needs to obtain a higher redline (built block/head) My guess is that your stock tach is slightly off.

is it doing that problem on the stock ecu? if so then your tach might be off. hook up an aftermarket one and compare the two.

blowing up the engine at the track is less cool. Why would you want to raise the limit unless you're making more power up there?

Anyway, on to your problem. If it's an intermittent problem then raising the limit isn't going to help you. I think your ECU is trying to tell you something. Like the others said Any CEL's? How's the oil pressure. Either of these would cause your ECU to go into limp mode and not activate VTEC.

Also when your car isnt warm I've heard of people having trouble with vtec

Vtec does not work when the engine is cold, must be at normal operating temp
