you said you 'set' vtec... how do you mean, ''set'' it? is it on a vafc or is it running on a vtec ecu?

Vtec worked then it stopped.I activated vtec manually to check if it was the solenoid,but normally the p28 does it normally.Ok so have you guys heard anything about the kit failing???The motor isnt fresh its been running for 6 months now.The motor runs great no lost of power except when i go over 5500 when its suppose to activate.The kit is using a T if i remember correctly

I was thinking of disconnecting the line from the head and have someone crank the motor to see if any oil is getting thru.
