check your main wire for the vtec solinoid. be sure it has a solid connection all the way through. My old 94 turbo hatch would give me a MAP CEL, changed it, no luck, put it back on the dyno... when it showed up 24whp less we started testing for things, found vtec had a lose connection.

sodered the wire for good connection, CEL went away, got the power back.
