Some questions:

What car is it in?
What kind of B16 is it?
What kind of ECU are you running?
What (if any) CEL codes is it throwing?

the check engine light has been on since i put the motor in, about 1 and a half years ago. i;ve had it checked out and they have told that everything was ok. this is the first time that my VTEC has stoped working, it's kind of surprising to me b/c i've never heard of this before

Feel free to hit me up on AIM or send me an IM through this site (click the little IM button under my name). I'm sure if you post the code here more people than just me will be able to help you out. I'm just a guy with a Helms manual.
