Okay

I have replaced the vtec solenoid. Same thing.

I also replace the entire housing (metal case) that bolts to the block. The Vtec Solenoid bolts to the housing that bolts to the block.
The only thing that is the same is the Oil Pressure Switch(?) and It was supposedly working correctly when we put it on the computer and drove it.
Ill be doing that again tomorrow afternoon.

I have done everything suggested except the Spark Plugs (Just came in this afternoon) and 2nd O2 sensor......but I would think it would throw a CEL....

Okay besides 6200RMS and < it runs FINE.

Im totally
I've called Jeff (HTG) and he's but said he'd get back to me.
I've also called a few other people (thanks for the help....so far )

So the saga continues.

and just a few weeks from WTD

I had a similar problem when i used to have my rx-7, granted, they are completely different monsters, but i went through all of the same things, cleaning injectors, replacing plugs, wires, coils, fuel filter, etc. Eventually i discovered that the catalytic converter was the problem. I could be driving along, and as soon as i tried to rev high, it was like the car was getting cut off from air, fuel, or something. I would compare it to running a foot race and tripping and falling on your face in the home stretch. Hope that helps.
