Are you trying to VTEC when the engine is not up to temperature?

i am ye, have i got to wait till the temp is up to ints normal level?

yeah it wont engage vtec until atleast the first bar on the temp gauge is up, you shouldnt rag your car until its fully up to temp anyway mate! you should give your engine oil/gearbox oil a chance to warm up nicely!

Ye. Don't go by the gauge either. Give the car a good 10 minutes before trying.

ouch.
yes, it helps if the engine is warm before you mash your lead one into the floor... honda make sure you cant do this by saying you have to have a warm engine, a speed of more that 17 mph and a safe oil level.
only then can you begin engine abuse.
