The SOHC vtec is undetectable(assuming that's what you have), how do you know at what point it's kickin' in?
Check your oil level, that can effect kick in.
Also, I believe if your solenoid is not working, your CEL would be on.

The engine computer decides what rpm to turn the VTEC on. The engine computer will not turn the VTEC on at all if a problem exists which has caused the check engine light to be on.
