your tach is at 6k, or the engine?
check the obvious stuff. like your throttle cable and make sure the throttle body is not open. check vacuum leaks, etc..

Yeah.... I think he's right because doesn't uberdata have an option to allow vtec below 20mph? ...Which I take to mean that vtec on a stock honda cannot engage under 20mph.

true that. yeah vtec doesnt engage unless you're running higher than 20 mph. i just made the vtec at idle thingy because that would get peoples attention. umm...bout the donky avatars, they're kind of like a default avatar you can use instead of the trial user one. i wish i could get vtec at idle. damn...its just not happening. and dude, you're joking about the VTECH thing right?? because its vtec....lolz. Donkey mania yo.
