Default vtec bogs down bad..

I hit like around 4400 rpms and kicks back really hard. I checked both filters there clean. You think its fuel related or maybe not geting enough oil pressure? I have a oil pressure gauge but I have no idea how to hook it up. I know where it goes. I dont know.

Have you checked your oil? Is it full? Are you throwing any codes? If your oil is full i would say fuel, don't have much experience with this, so if i'm wrong someone let me know.

WHOA! Your Vtec is set to engage at 4400, or that's when it bogs? If you set it that low (without a dyno) you're a moron and i would say that is your problem.

4400 works great it almost feels like a misfire though like it runs on 3cyls when this happens. I know when iam driving the car at when it bogs down once a code flashes which would be code 73
7 lengthy flashes follwed by 3 quick flashes. But isnt this a obd0 car? Its a pr3

It could be your o2 sensor. My friend had this same problem happen, and he had a bad o2. Not sure, but check it out.
