b18 issue

I have a b18c5 and today the vtec stopped kicking in, and it also seems there is power loss close to 8000rpms. Does anyone know what this could be? thank you for your help.

well if vtec stopped working i bet the power loss starts before 8000rpms.

Check your oil level, could be low.

Is the check engine light on?

Check to make sure the vtec solenoid and vtec oil pressure switch are plugged in correctly.
