other than your apparently loose grasp on the english language you could try cleaning the VTEC solenoid as well. any CELs?

Maybe the car was cold, was the car cold when you try to hit vtec the first time? if thats the case then, wait till your car is warm before you hit vtec. vtec wont kick in if your car is cold. thats why it took three tries before vtec finally hit.
