check your oil pressure/oil level, low oil=no vtec
also check the connection on the vtec solenoid.
are you getting a CEl, if so what code?

you may want to do a basic tune up on your motor (spark plug, wires, oil change, etc.....) if it still doesnt help, you may want to check your ECU, may need reprogramming, who knows?...............but i would take it to the local acura shop there and see what kind of info they can help you out with

Maybe your temp. sensor? I know when the car is cold that VTEC won't work. It's just a thought.
