Engine not up to the right temperature is a possibility. Do you have a CEL?

I try that, but I'll check again. The vtec was working, but after the car crash. "No damage to the motor". Vtec stop working.

I test the Vtec couple time before after driving it around for about an hour. Sometime check engine light come on then it went away by itself.

I'm thinking the same thing. Are you throwing any CEL?

Yes sometime CEL come on. After driving it for about an hours, and it went away by itself. I check the oil already, but I'll check on vtec wire.

Jump the service connector under your dash and see what code it's throwing. One way to check if your VTEC Solenoid is working, disconnect the plug and apply 12V+ to the wire for the solenoid. If it's working correctly you'll hear it make a clicking noise.

if you have a friend with a vtec engine ask to use there Vtec soleniod might be that you mest it up. or make sure of the wiring and oil before that. also a faulty ecu might do that also happend to a friend of mine.

What codes are you getting? Check your solenoid's resistance and continuity for your pressure switch.
