Wow, this is getting spooky,
I luv jap dc2rs.
Ever been past that Westons fully automated flour mill on the Hume at strathfield there?
I spent 4years there, doing a whole heap of shit, from pulling and fitting off 3phase and neutral xlpe 500's,right up to fitting out and commissioning the mcc's.
Threading your elbows between live 2kA buses with the nearest fuse all the way back at the substation, steel conduit, having to call the supply authority to get permission to startup a single motor, ahhhh.... Used to luv all that stuff....

Where's the ecu wiring?

Where do you think the average vafc(or similar) buyer gets the the new toy home, pulls out the diagram and starts cutting wiring in without knowing much about what he's doing?
Probably doesn't even know what an ecu looks like.
Get my drift?
I've seen it all before mate...

asking a forum instead of consulting a professional ... then getting angry for sarcastic responses

*slow clap*

Who's angry?
Think you're spending too much time reading between the lines, that's what females do.
Try reading on the line instead.

Stay on topic OzHomos!

Check the wiring around your VTEC solenoid and just make sure it's all tight/intact. Also clean the grounds in your engine bay (wires bolted to the chassis, just take them off, sand the grounding points, and re-attach).

Just hoping but probably not the issue..

is battery condition ok?
are you dead sure its once vtec kicks in?

or maybe since the stereo is off it sounds louder?

who knows.

maybe the other guy wired it up for spirited driving and cruising modes.

Your VTEC solenoid might be somehow grounded to your headlights? Is the ground wiring original or has someone put together an aftermarket ground/capacitator kit?
