97 civic hatch D15B VTEC problem

Hi everyone I have a 97 civic hatch with a d15b. VTEC kicks in at 5500 rpm, but sometimes it doesn't sound right. VTEC wouldn't kick in and it sounds like it's surging and dying while I'm flooring it. I'm not sure what the problem is. The car also surges at stops or in neutral. If you guys can help that would be greatly appreciated.

I'm not to sure if it will. I bought the car a couple weeks ago. The car doesn't have much power obviously lol. It does have the 3 stage vtec and the last part kicks in at 5,500 rpms. So far it's a good motor mine has an oil leak.
