im confused...did you change the o2 sensor or replace the spark plugs with NGK's? and also what exactly were your codes because the code you said was more of a run-on of two similar codes.

yeah that could also cause it, wouldn't cause your engine light but would cause vtec to feel weak due to lack of oil pressure.

did your CEL light come back? maybe your cat is toast (if you have one) see if you have a catalyst efficiency code.
