Default VTEC sputtering

Just recently, my car was driving fine the first half of the day, and then later, it seems like whenever I gun the car, VTEC sputters/bogs and seems like it doesn't want to go any further. I've been searching and people are saying that it may be the fuel filter or pump clogging??? Any other suggestions?? BTW, I also just changed my oil too and that didn't change anything.

your fuel filter may be the culprit, as for vtec, it either engages or doesnt, so i doubt thats the problem, the reason it "sputters/bogs" at higher rpm is b/c more fuel is required so if your fuel filter is clogged, it would be more evident at the top end, your fuel pump is also a possibility
