its probably just low on oem honda vtec fluid. It wont engage fully without the fluid, the valves wont be lubed enough, and the ECU doesnt let it engage 100%. Under the VTEC solenoid there is a VTEC Fluid resiv.......go to the dealer and get a pint, its cheap.....10 bucks and youre back in business.

when its cold it will kick it...
no it won't. VTEC won't engage if the engine is not warmed up. So when it's cold and you rev past 5500, it's not even trying to work. it's just running on the regular cam profile

getting any check engine lights?

Is this true? Ive never heard of there being seperate fluid, i just thought it operated off the oil pressure, and the oil itself pushed in the pin

that was some thick sarcasm. vtec either works or it doesn't and if your vtec fluid (hint hint engine oil) is low, you will probably sieze the engine.
