Ok, since you seem to have some type of knowledge on how the VTEC system works. It may get into more detail. If you have no CELs than you can possible have the same problem I had with my setup. My problem was the LMA's (Loss Motion Assemblies) they were sticking and not allowing my VTEC to engage. But before you jump into that, go over your oil line and make sure it is not kinked in anyway.

Re: (b16nonoy)
Tap a small test bulb into the green plugged wire @ the solenoid with enough slack to run up to your windsheild. Put the bulb under you windsheild wiper to keep it from flopping around. This will tell you if its mechanical, (light is working) or electrical (light isnt working). After you know that. Its alot easier to troubleshoot the problem.
