on the covers that go over the cams, all the way to the right there is 2 10mm bolts that go into the cam cover near the cam gears. i broke the 2 taking them out on the exhaust cam. after that the vtec stopped working. put new bolts in and vtec is back. i guess the 2 bolts have something to do with oil pressure. learn something new all the time. kj still really doesnt know what he did to fix it, but all that matters is its fixed now. lol
