change the oil. make sure you have the proper level of oil in the engine,or vtec will not engage properly. also....remove the vtec solenoid and clean the screen that is inside of it, sometimes it gets clogged up with debris which will in turn restrict the oil flow,therefore your vtec will not engage properly as well.
also check your pcv valve.....
good luck.
