I was driving home today and I know I'm not supposed to do this, but I tried to VTEC before the car was completely warmed up.

I don't know what the heck happened, but it seemed that the VTEC did not kick in when it was supposed to at about 6000 RPM. Basically what happened was that the car went up to about 6600 RPM (without VTEC) and then it felt like it was hitting a rev-limiter or fuel cutoff.

Does anyone know if this is supposed to be this way? It is some safety feature to disable VTEC before the car is warmed up?? Or was this some freak of nature????

 

It's supposed to be that way.

 

- that's just the way it is...

The car is protecting itself from you.

 

Rev limiter or not, you should always give your car enough time to properly warm up before driving it hard.

 

Does anyone RTFM anymore?
