Be more precise, what won't stop ? Do you always feel you're in VTEC mode even when you drop out of 5200 rpm ?

Yea, it feels like its still in V-tec mode, and the car wont stop at all.. like even when I apply the breaks.. it slows down. but once I let go it starts accelerating again.

Its only when I hit V-tec the car doesnt stop at all. even when I apply breaks, it slows down but it struggles to like, if the acceleration was still pushed in. So the only way I could possibly stop is if I pull off to the side and turn off the car.

Sounds like your throttle is sticking for some reason...or you have a nasty vacuum leak. Probably a vacuum leak.
