Default Vtec not engaging in my b16a swap da9!! help pleade

Well as you can see up there my Vtec will not engage at all and b16a with not vtec is an embarrassment I got CEL Codes for 07,21 tps and vtec solenoid valve. And 21 electrical load detector... I'm not sure why is doing this my wiring and oil pressure is good I let it warm up and everything yet nothing is it a bad solenoid? Or what can it be? Can it be the tps? Also have another problem where I press on the brakes and my cluster, fog, side markers light up and my clock dims. Also when I have my lights on my car idles poorly. Can it be a bad ground? Where can I find this ground? Any help would be really appreciated thanks. I looked everywhere and no answers PLEASE NEED HELP WITH THIS!

Help? Fix the things causing the codes.

Sounds like you did a **** poor job with that swap. YOu have bigger things to worry about rather than stupid VTEC.

@grumblemarc I only have code 21 and 20 and I would be thinking 20 might be my alrernator cause it was going bad on me but I replaced it and yet it's there so that wasn't my problem and 21 is the vtec solenoid which Is why I think it's not working but my vtec solenoid works cause I've tested it on my friends car and it works so I'm not sure. Also I would be thinking why my fogs turn on when i press on the brakes is cause of grounds? I'm just trying to get everything functioning properly thanks for replying

Da9s dont have an ELD thats why you're getting a code for it. You have to have that deleted from the ecu to make that code go away. Fix the codes and youre other wiring issues.
