I think it means your car is being starved of fuel when you turn the corner?? ....i dont think its a good thing....but dont think it would be that uncommon...

How hard are you taking the corners??

Sounds like normal operation with the engine cutting in and out of VTEC.

Provided the car is mechanically sound and you have no ECU problems, then there is nothing to worry about. You should be fine dropping in and out of VTEC.

As i sorta mentioned above, u need an upgraded anti-surge tank, which maintains an even flow of fuel to the engine, as forces from accelerating, braking and cornering can interrupt the flow of petrol through the fuel system. Hence your a/f could be quite lean for short periods of time.
