vtec measures alot of other things too though right, coolant temp, oil pressure/level. im not sure about the other variables but it could def. be a few more things.

no only oil pressure but vtec would still engage, unless there is really low oil pressure. pull the cannister off and see if u broke the spring or spun the silinoid pressure valve. x3 10mm and 10 min.

..ISawUL00k... DAM Ayes
