Default V-tec Problems

I've been having problems with my V-tec it was working fine for a while and now took a **** on me, when I go into V-tec it seems to kick in late and when it does kick in it comes in and out while the rpms progress (It seems to be stuttering), you can feel it pulling and then letting up and then pulling again


Any Ideas what that may be I was leaning toward wiring?

Same thing happened to me, before checking anything else, just make sure you have enough oil. After I changed my oil my vtec kicked in just fine.
