I just got my motor back from being rebuilt by my tuner. Im running the same map as the last dyno session when the hg blew. I was getting a check engine light every time when vtec would try to engage. Now its running just fine just no vtec. I check the wires and they r fine. Is there any other ways to test so I can figure out the problem.....
Simply check for voltage on the solenoid wire using a volt meter when the car is supposed to be in vtec. If you are seeing 12 volts but don't have vtec then the problem is mechanical...

I out 12 volts to it and it clicks like its suppose too. I check for continuity from the ecu pin to the sol and its good. I know its not in the tune. I took the sol off and cleaned it and put a new gasket/filter on it. I ran a wire off the the vtec sol right beside the sol into the car and its getting 12v... IDK what else it could be....
