If you rev the Car at stand still, the ECU will not let you go into Vtec, nor will it until it is warm first thing in the morning either :!: hence you hit a low down rev limiter.

If after a run out and it still wont let you go into Vtev whilst on the move, then you do have an issue :idea:

Do you have a performance engine chip. I heared that the chip can mess with that sometimes.
