02 type-s vtec not engaging all the time

So I've been having issues with my vtec not engaging.. it only engages for like the first 5-10mins of me driving it. It seems like as if when the car heats up its not cracking. Any ideas?

Re: 02 type-s vtec not engaging all the time

Because it usually cracks at 6000 and its very noticeable when it does, but when the car seems to heat up it just goes past 6000 without vtec. Also my temp never goes up, so I dont know if my temp sensor is out, but I don't have any cels.
