Default Vtec not working in my B16A2...HELP!!!

I don't know what to do! Vtec isn't working at all and I don't know why. Should I get an oil change, it has been about 4000 miles. Oh, and my Check Engine Light just came on. Don't know what to do. Help me please.

I really don't understand the lack of common sense, vtec abuses your engine, high RPM's are harder, why in the world are you abusing your engine with a check engine light and it's possibly low on oil? What part of "my engine isn't running right" makes people want to rev it higher?

Search and fix the engine light.

Yeah find out what that CEL is. Use a paper clip on the jump plug. Look at JDMlyfestyle's thread stickied up top.

WERD! Check the CEL and see which code(s) it throw. Then see if you can fix them. If not, reset the ecu and try again...

hasnt changed oil in 4k miles, i bet your low on oil so the vtec oil pressure sensor is saying "hey no oil, im not going to let vtec kick on" i have this problem also when my milage get up around 3k miles it comes on everyonce in a while. change the oil and you should be good.
