Well you need to check your codes and see what codes the car is throwing.
you can follow this to see what it is throwing

also i would check your oil because vtec works on oil pressure.

there's your problem

most older cars don't have them. I took mine off. It's a pain to deal with...at least for the VW stuff it is. Then again, most VW stuff mechanical&electronics are a pain
