Apparently not a fan of punctuation either...

Its difficult to yell what you mean. I'll assume you are trying to say that the engine runs normally for general driving, but whenever you try and engage vtec, it 'cuts out', in the sense that vtec does not occur. The power is simply not there.

That combined with the oil related trouble code has me thinking its a clogged vtec screen. An easy fix for someone with decent diy skills.

You remove vtec solenoid, clean the wire mesh screen, reassemble.

I would suggest finding someone local to help you with this...

This may not be the issue, but its easy to do and seems to align with your symptoms. So try this first.

Check your MAP sensor. It might not have failed completely, but on it's way out. Also, clean the MAP tunnel, small hole it reads from. I think they cost less than $150.
