What kind of gas are you using? I would be running at least 89 octane in just about any Honda. Also if your oil level is low achieving VTEC becomes difficult for the car since it relies on oil pressure to engage the solenoid. Shoot maybe the solenoid is all gummed up amongst other things. I would even check out that knock sensor.

hope this helps
