Default VTEC wont kick in

I have a problem with my ITR 98`. The VTEC wont kick in. And when it kicks in, it happens around 7000rpm, and the VTEC lags. It keeps kicking in and out. Is the solenoid broken ?

Have you checked your oil? Sounds like your oil is low...

It's amazing how often this is the case..

Otherwise, solenoid, VTEC oil pressure switch or clogged screen.
