I need your guys help

So far I've changed: rotor, distributor cap,spark plugs/ wires and the vtech solenoid gasket!!

My car is still having the same symptoms !!! Sounds as if it's not getting enough oxygen or fuel when in low idle mode( running in neutral)!

Its in limp mode forshore after you changed all the stuff did you try erasing the codes?

if vtec malfunction shows up its bcz of that, even thou you may have enough motor oil it maybe to thick wont go pass thru the vtec screen causing it to be sluggish

you got to get a code scanner/reader or get them pulled from pepboys after you disconnect battery !!

When you accelerate does vtec kick in around 5k rpm?

are you due in oil service? have you topped off motor oil if you were low?

Oil change done a week ago .. Oil level is fine? vtech kicks in.... It just seems to be really weak when in idle mode? Almost as its going to shut off
