The funniest part about this thread is that he saw the oil light come on, but he posted here for our advice before he went and checked the oil. Which is easier?
a) Booting up your PC, logging into S2KI, creating a new thread about VTEC problems or
b) Checking your oil level?

(For those in doubt, the answer is b CHECK YOUR OIL!!!).


I'm not saying that's necessarily the problem, but it's easy enough to verify.

They call those "idiot" lights for a reason. Hahaha.

Just kidding man, hopefully you take this as "lesson learned".

If oil level is ok, the sensor which measures oil level and disables vtec if oil's so low might be malfunctionng right? bcoz he said vtec 'sometimes' doesnt work.

No point speculating. The original poster has yet to come back to tell us what he's found.
Low oil causes fluctuating oil pressure. That's why the oil light blinks on and off.
