I also see your VTEC solenoid. Not sure why you think it's non-VTEC. The VTEC solenoid is under that little hose on the passenger rear (from the perspective of standing in front of the car, the far left) corner of your valve cover. It's a little bronzish cylinder.

Is the reason you think it doesn't have VTEC because the valve cover doesn't say VTEC, you don't think you can feel VTEC or because you have a check engine light (CEL)?

Get the code read. Don't guess what it could be. One CEL can be for multiple problems as well.
