Default Check engine light once again:(

well first off if you ride in vtec range not close to 7k but inbetween 5500-6500 can it make it throw a code?.......THis has happened before and i got it checked and it was vtec system malfunction and i reset my ecu havent had a problem since untill now. But now after the check eng. light came on if you go up to 6k the car sputters and about stalls out. What does this mean? what can i do to fix it?

I dont care about punctuation or spelling

Go to an AutoZone and get your ecu scanned and see what code it's throwin'.

They do it for free.

Indeed. The VTEC system doesn't work if you don't have enough oil in your crankcase.
