Solenoid stuffed?

[integraR]

car not warm enough?

not enough oil?

leaking solenoid?

I wish my vtec got stuck on

Solenoid staying stuck on.

Gunked up oil blocked the galleries so the oil cant return.

^
My bet too.

Cant be leaking, or low oil if it was then he'd have problems engaging VTEC.
But it seems his having problems disengaging it.

I dont see how this is a problem.

Probably intake pipe loose - slight crack near the throttle body andGives a LOUD vtec like noise. Check your intake pipe is firmly fastened !

when the revs are out of the vtec range, the car dosent run properly.. he has been told its the vtec staying on..

there is oil, everything is all good..

he is thinking of getting a vtec conroller and he is waiting for a skunk2 vtec solonoid he just purhased

try to disconnect the plug to the vtec solenoid - see if this alters the car (drives normally until vtec then goes flat)

Maybe your friend is running TODA VTEC Killer Cams?
