S2000 Vtec - AP1

Hi everyone,

Need some help please.

I have a 2000 S2000 with 93000kms.
Car is Stock - but has a K&N filter

I had my valves adjusted about 300kms ago, on the weekend I took the car our for a long drive and thought I would try the Vtec, I hit 6500 RPM in 2nd and noticed nothing, took it up to 8000 RPM and still noticed no change in sound and performance. Tried this a few times.

After doing some research I performed the following:

Cleared the ECU (removed the neg terminal from the battery for 15 min)
Checked oil - On the line below H (Mobil 1 - 10W30)
Cleaned air filter
Checked the Vtec Solenoid gasket - the mesh was clean and no clog

Reading some posts on S2ki, some say you should not notice the Vtec kicking in, and the reason some feel it is due to the valves needing to be adjusted and the when the Vtec engages allows more airlfow into the engine at once hence feeling the Vtech enagage. With the valves adjusted properly is should a be consitant "pull" and not feel it engage.

Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
