Is your VTEC wired up correctly and is the solenoid working? Do you have a test light? Use that and have a buddy rev the motor and then check to see if you have conitinuity with the wiring!

My buddie just had the same problem. Oil level and everything was good. Does it bog down when you get on it? May be a sign of you oil pump going bad. We never got to troubleshoot my buddies because it shot the rod through the block shortly after the oil light stated coming on and off.

Keep on revving it and the problem should show itself soon. Probably out the side of the block.

Before you go replacing the pump, drop the oil pan and clean the oil pickup tube and screen. If it looks all gummed up, that would be the cause of your problem.

Will a dented oil pan also cause this problem?

thanks

If the oil pan is dented enough it can, but check your connecter on the back of the block for the oil sending unit. Make sure the connection is good.

Yes I think that is the case because when I rev high it gets oil.

I talked to Old man who fixes car he explained to me how it works he said working with car that long Honda doesn't **** up Oil Pumps. I told me about the dent on the Oil Pan he said that might be the problem also.

told me get a wood and hit the oil pan out..
