i would put a light on the vtec solenoid wire to make sure it is it indeed working, so since you said the car was warm i take it your temperature gauge is functioning correctly also? are there any engine modifcations on the car?

Definatly check your plugs. Do you have CEL? If so, get it pulled.
My buddy had this problem (however he had a mazda). Ended up 1 of his ignition coils were dead and 2 were going to hell.

Guess I could try a map wack.
I had a MAP connection issue a while back. When I got up into the high RPM range (above 6-7K), it felt like somebody threw out an anchor. The car just wouldn't accellerate... even in 2nd gear.
Give it a try... unplug it, clean the contacts if you can, plug it back in securely. Take her for a spin.

and it ONLY runs poorly at Vtec. just to make sure everyone is getting that.
I'd be a little concerned that the car might not have enough oil pressure to engage VTEC, so if it were me, I'd check the oil pressure ASAP.

Actually Ive been at a family thing (like not seen them in 10+ years) so I had to go....
Gonna do the suggested things above, plus I pm'd Chris and he's gave me a few pointers.
But you bastards talking about oil pressure and coil packs are scaring the ****ing shit out of me. I can't be having my car die on me. She's only got 56k on her.
