Ok, I have a stock (except for AEM CAI) b16 00 Si. The car has 127k miles on it. Within the past few weeks I noticed that I no longer hear Vtec in 1st gear. Once I get into 2nd through 5th gears I hear it clearly.

Over at HondaTech everyone seems to think I "got used" to hearing Vtec in 1st and now I don't recognize the sound anymore. I can assure you, this is not the case.

Has anyone had any issues with not having Vtec in 1st gear? I checked the CAI and filter and there is no blockage there. Again, the motor is stock and I have done nothing to it.
