yes. It shoulcn't have anything to do with vtec. vtec functions on oil pressure.

Thought as much in that case take your Vtec soleniod off and clean the wire mesh filter its common for them to get clogged up if that doesn't work see if you can borrow a friends soleniod and see if it'll run it then.

It looks like the VSS is a seperate problem though so should try and deal with that too.
