    How bout just a new ecu. makes no sense in paying for a vtec controller and ghetto wiring it the dist or the vtec solinoid when u can easily replace the ecu. btw are u sure its the ecu? check the oil pressure? could the vtec solinoid be bad? can it be cloged oil filter in the soilnoid?

    if VTEC wont work with a proper ECU, then a VAFC wnt help, its a band aid. what CEL is it throwing. only certain things can cause a car not to hit VTEC

    Oil Pressure
    Vtec SOlenoid
    Knock Sensor
    VSS aka is your speedo working?

    if you have no CEL, then its a solenoid or oil pressuer problem.

    check to see if you are getting power to your solenoid. then clean the screen on it, then make sure all wires and hooked up and grounded correctly, and make sure you have oil.

    there is something seriously wrong with that car
