V-TEC not working correctly?
I own a Honda Civic 2000 Ex and when i hit 5500 rpm's i can hear the v-tec but i dont feel it kick in. I hit it most of the time when i get onto a freeway on-ramp but never get that boost when the v-tec hits. Is there possibly, something wrong with the v-tec in my car since i dont get that sudden boost in speed? I asked a friend of mine if he gets a boost when his 2003 accord LX non v6 hits 5500 and he said all the time even on a hill.

the crossover in D series is quite weak...If it isn't throwing a code then it should be working fine. Oil Pressure must be built up for VTEC to work correctly, VTEC isn't gonna work if you get in a cold car and try to dog the car.

Gotta warm up the car buddy. Like R33CIVIC said, it wont work in a cold car. Even if it isnt cold u still gotta warm it up. My mom has a 2002 Civic EX Coupe and it picks up quick. When I floor it the car goes mad. I took out a Integra once with it..and a 98 Accord....that cars crazy
