Unless it's a hard failure, shutting down and restarting will reset the CEL, but the trouble code should still be stored in the ECU. The light will remain off until the condition that triggered it before occurs again. Get the code scanned and you can stop guessing what it is/was.

Yeah check the ECU code. Only way to tell. Even if you don't have a VFAC vtec will work with a o2 not working or unplugged, or at least on a obd 1 b16 swap.

ok i'm gettin these codes - 1, 3, 21
1 is the front o2 sensor - which i dont have a spot for one
3 - is the MAP sensor - but i think mine is working right..how do i check it?
21 is the VTEC sylniod - VTEC still comes on doesnt that mean it works - would all this be due to crappy wiring??

If your running a chipped p28 it's only looking for one o2 so the only reason to get a code is for your only o2 to not be working. I'd check your wires on the rest to make sure.
