1. Under any circumstances, VTEC will not work with a CEL. (Posted by dntnedvtec)

???

My check engine light has been on for 4 years and my vtec works fine.

Hope you get it fixed bro, these things happen. That post is full of good information for the
most part.

Default vtec not working?

Goddamn it, that's a long sentence. Take apart the solenoid and clean it with some parts cleaner and check your oil. The piston inside the solenoid is probably all sludged up and won't engage.

How bout the v-dak pressure switch, did you wire that in correctly or at least ground it at the ecu to bypass it? everybody wants to hook up the green and yellow fun wire, but forgets that a usdm ecu has a oil pressure switch that will prevent the spool valve from operating. This is still the case with a jdm engine without a switch if you use a usdm ecu. If you have a jdm ecu forget all that I have said here and happy hunting.

Not always true, if the ecu is chipped you can set vtec to engage at 0mph
