Default b16 vtec solenoid question

so I've been searching here and there for an answer. Got an hmotors b16a swap in my 95 coupe. Been running 100% for a year now and now i get a code 21. and theres a 41 for o2. All wiring was redone and plenty of pressure. I read that the solenoid is most likely bad, but my main question is when i supply 12v it clicks. Could it still be bad?

No one has ever had this problem? I have continuity from the solenoid all the way to the ecu. Yet it clicks and i'm still getting code 21... hmm

If you changed your computer and VTEC worked, thats your problem.
