Morning,

As above, what are common causes for the vtec not being as dramatic, strong and powerful as it should be?

I've had a search and couldn't find anything as usual, cheers.

Low Oil level will stop in engaging

And buying a later version will have a softer transition (from what I've read)

Low oil pressure, vtec solenoid filter being clogged, engine management light on, engine not being warm enough

Have you compared your car with others of a similar age?

Already told you this, don't you read the posts in your own threads?

No, I think this could be a good reason to attend a meet soon.

I have added an ECU to reset to the list of work i'm getting done on the 17th so thanks. The woman on the phone at TGM said she had never heard of it before, is it something I can easily do myself?

Checked my oil last night, was at a good level and still very golden. I do have a later car I assume with it being an 05, is it possible to do some work to make it similar to that of an earlier one by changing the vtec solenoid to an earlier spec one perhaps?

Not sure how to check oil pressure as for the vtec solenoid being clogged I could add checking it to the list of work on the 17th, thanks.

VTEC moves the cams so that more aggressive valve timing is used. There's only two positions; it can't be weak. It's either working or it isn't.
