CHECK ENGINE LIGHT need help!
i have a 95 civic ex coupe with a mini me swap that is a d15b7 bottom end, and d16z6 top end. i am getting a cel. the code i am receiving is 22 (vtec pressure switch). i have swapped the vtec solenoid out 3 different times. and the only thing that i can think of is it is not getting enough oil to the head. but iirc the b7 and z6 have the same oil pumps. can someone help me trouble shoot this problem.

There is a oil restrictor in the middle of the cylinders on D motors. You have to remove this when doing a mini me. vtec swap. That is most likely the problem .
if not you can get the ecu chiped to not look for the oil pressure sensor.. ?

you better make sure that all your wiring is soldered together so you dont have any loose or bad connection cause that happens alot make sure your connections are soldered together then heat shrink it might work
