also checked the speedo in the trany took it out looks like everything is good and made sure plug was good and it was. its not reading the mph at all cause vtec isnt even working. you have to be going 17mph for vtec to work....

Code 17 is the vehicle speed sensor. Check the plug. VTEC will not work if the VSS is not working.
