VTEC is dependant on MAP pressure. I've seem and fixed this exact problem a dozen times. Even on my own car.
Oil pressure
Coolant temp
Vtec solenoid and wiring in working order (duh)
speed
RPM

Is your "maint req" light on? I am not talking about the CEL, but rather the maintenance required reminder. If this light is on, it needs to be reset or Vtec will not engage.
not to be mean...but this is an example of pulling shet out of your ass.
i have neve reset my maintenance indicator light...it remains on...for the past 80,000 miles.

Check the oil level every time you gas up.

Agreed....but the VTEC on/off feel is only caused by a bad MAP signal.
I hope none of your customers let their oil levels get that low, but sadly, we see it pretty often.
