i dont know how test the 02 sensor to confirm this though. how would you do this? just a volt meter?
If you accelerate from idle what rpm are you shifting at and how "hard" is your acceleration? This isn't a DOHC B18C5, it's a SOHC D15Z1. There is no power!

correct.
Vtec-e doesn't engage at low rpm, so how you can agree with this statement and not the other doesn't make any sense.
