Default Somewhat proud new owner of an EX sedan BUT...

I recently picked up a 92 EX sedan and it seems fine. I can tell that there has been bodywork performed on the car and it's missing a few pieces and has a few issues that need to be dealt with. It runs well though...for now.

Currently my biggest concern is that I had my check engine light come on last night. I downshifted and floored the car up until about 6.7K RPM and when I let off the gas, the CEL lit up. I checked the code using the paper clip method and got a code 22 which according to http://www.c-speedracing.com/faq/05.html is VTEC Oil Pressure Switch defective circuit or unplugged / defective oil pressure switch.

Does anyone know what this means in dumb person/non-mechanic's terms? How would I go about checking/troubleshooting and fixing this problem? I assume this means no VTEC for now correct? Thanks for any help or insight.

EDIT: Yes, I did a search but no luck with code 22...

The oil level is fine but the oil is filthy and I need to change it ASAP. After changing the oil, I'll reset the ECU and see if I can reproduce the problem. Thanks. Anyone know of any online diagrams that show where the oil pressure switch is? I just got the car and have yet to purchase a Helms.
