Depends on exactly what's wrong, which we still don't really know. 
If you're really missing the man pages, it would certainly help.
That's unlikely, though, since *something* would have had to delete

If you can have the manual source files (check 
'ls /usr/share/man/man1/vi.*', then it's not the case.

Check $MANPATH...
