Say what? Not entirely sure I understand what your saying... ok I don't understand what your saying. But I promise you that your VTEC does not engage until 4200r's unless you have an controller installed and have it set to a lower RPM.

Heres something you can do... without frying anything, get a wire schematic for your ECU, find the lead from the ECU to the VTEC selonoid, tap in a LED (radio shack, make sure its 12v) light into the wire coming from the ECU right at the selonoid, then run the light inside to where you can see it while driving. Now when your driving and VTEC engages the light will light up. If it doesn't then you either have a bad ECU or bad wiring.

Now, incase you didn't know, VTEC does not engage unless you are moving, so testing it while sitting still will not work.
