Go buy an new phone.

Seriously its called vtec. Tell him to find a pinout and put a multimeter on the solenoid trigger then go for a drive.

tell him to get rid of the automatic and buy a manual. Preludes have a bad rep for their auto trannies poopin out.

Does he have enough oil in there?

Is he throwing a CEL? certain CEL's can cause the car to go into "limp mode" and disengage vtec

Dose the speedo work, is there oil in the car, is it warmed up when he gets on it. Go from there.

If the oil level is low, vtec doesn't engage. Check the vtec solenoid too.
