advice, don't try to hit LIFT until the car has reached optimum running temperature, that will fix your problem. apparently if you try to hit lift when the engine is cold or warm, VVTL-i won't be able to do its thing, until your car is all warmed up, then just LIFT to your heart's content :P So no going it as soon as its been running for 5 minutes. Anyone care to add? Evo I never hit lift when it's cold. Only always at the right temp like 10 - 15 minutes after it's cold And it's got nothing to do with lift it's within the low end rpm
