tried switching out the solenoid on the dyno still no luck. we put a jumper striaght to power and it would engage but only briefly. at the normal vtec point in rpms it just kinda falls on its face, and its obvious by the power numbers that vtec is not engaging

I have a strong feeling its in the tune. You might wanna look over the calibration.

Good Luck.

First check the tune...and have the parameters verified.

Also check your oil pressure. If VTEC is not working, it can either be a bad solenoid (which you ruled out) or low oil pressure. Typically if VTEC is coming on then not working afterwards, you have an oiling system issue.
