Default vtec not kicking in

looked on s2ki and did some researching an did these already..

check tct took out and cleaned it

took off vtec solonid - checked gaskets -cleaned screen and made sure plunger was operational

did the map wack

air filter is clean

the one and only thing left would be to buy a map sensor. since the wack didnt work maybe its completely bad????

what the heck, anything im missing???

If you determine that is it... I have one for sale: Click Here to See.

The engine was warm? It needs all three bars on the temp gauge for AP1's VTEC to kick in.
