Default ! HELP ! VTEC PROBLEM !

I have a sohc vtec motor, but the vtec does not engage. I have correct wiring. But I do have an oil leak. Could loss of oil pressure disable VTEC from working? Or can it be the solenoid? Im running an ecu chiiped for a b16 dont know if thats the problem. any advice? thanks.
