im guessing your test driving,if you are the engine could be cold and not warm enough or you cant hear vtec so you assume its not working..sohc vtec operation is only on the intake side so its not going to be notice able like the dohc vtec..

I see people out there spending money on the car to improve it … If you spend half that effort just working on your driving skills, making you and the car work together as a team, then you’ll go faster – period. To make the car go a second faster on the track takes a lot more energy and money than making yourself drive it one second faster.
