No, the v-tec system should not cause a no-start, especially the actuator solenoid. The V-tec system merely changes the way the valves operate either max lift, duration or advance (i'm not too familiar with Honda's system) but a bad solenoid would either cause the "change" to always be in effect or never allow it. Check for spark, fuel pressure and make sure the valves open and close (visible thru the oil filler cap) when you turn the engine over. This will help you diagnose a no start.

Why will a 91 Lincoln Town Car start with a screwdriver touching the solenoid but not with the key manually?
Not to bash on the last answer, but, the starter solenoid probably isn't at fault here. If it will start with the screwdriver then the starter solenoid is functioning. It either does or it doesnt. The answer lies in circuitry back from the solenoid to the ignition switch. You could have a bad ignition switch or neutral/safety switch.AnswerDefective starter solenoid.

When jumping off a car and the car wont start but only clicks what is the cause?
Low voltage. Clicking is the starter solenoid. Low battery on the good car, bad cables or a bad connection. If they are all good, then the solenoid may be bad.
