Default vtec not engaging in my d16z6. No codes, need help.

I have owned my 95 vx with d16z6 swap for a few months now and I noticed it would never engage vtec. So today I swapped out vtec selinoids. no vtec! I have no codes, plenty of oil. need suggestions what to check next.

thanks

Since your car is not a civic si or civic ex you will need to get a civic ex harness or a vtec contoller to make vtec work!

VX's came with vtec so he doesnt need to wire it

just curious how do you know vtec isnt engaging?? and if you have no cel's there shouldnt be a problem, are you sure the CEL works?

you are running a p28 right?
