I recently bought a 1.5 SoHc Vtec, the car is really sluggish compared to my last one (which was older with more mileage too)
It sounds like the vtec isnt kicking in, and when i can hear it, it whistles. what are my options with the vtec? And what could i do to increase the performance of the car?
Also, when running idle it tends to rev very low then jump up to 2000rpm then it settles on 1000.

Hi ....you want to check for codes first and foremost . but since it is a honda and everyone likes to play with them and make em go fast ...I would start by checking the ignition timing then I would take a peek at the actual cam timing -be sure the timing belt alignment marks are lined up perfectly ,sometimes when the timing belts are a little to tight it can sound a little bit like a whistling noise -find out about any previous work done on the vehicle , doo your basic checks make sure there is no vacuum leaks and so on ....food for thought ....Todd
