Default vtec when car isn't warmed up

when i hit vtec before the car is warmed up.... only one bar showing on the digital gauge..... my car pushes me back like i hit a governor..... is this normal? i only did tis once..... i usually let the car warm up all the way before i even drive it.

Completely normal. The ECU will not allow you to rev past 7K RPMs or engage VTEC until just before it gets to 3 bars on the temp guage. You really shouldn't be trying to VTEC a cold engine anyway.

No need to act like an adolescent here. It impresses NOONE (except maybe other juveniles)!
How about being a MAN about it and going back and editing the garbage out and then payyourtoll can do same in the "quote".
