Default Loss of VTEC
Well I took the S out for the first time this spring and low and behold no VTEC. Anyone have any ideas, before I take it to the dealer?

What about resetting the ECU? Just trying to think of some other minor things to try.

how about the vtec solenoid? that would be a fairly simple fix, if that's what it is - and it's right there but the valve cover.

On a more serious note, it has got to be something simple. It's a barely broken-in Honda.

Zippy, I don't know you personally but did you actually say the "D" word? Dealer?
