Default VTEC not engauging no cell

hello, sorry I got tired of searching.

VTEC is not working on my h22. cant hear nor feel it engauge. any ideas.
there is no cell, so what would that limit it to?
oil is full.
how could i check the soleniod voltage?
and what colors should the plug be? red/yel or blk/blu? this is a EX harness

I also need to know which wire is the signal, so i can wire IABs into it.

thanks for input

Hook up a VTEC light.

Put a line from the batt. to the VTEC solienoid and listen to see if it clicks. If it clicks its good.

No oil pressure no VTEC.

Kalin, might want to also check your oil pressure. You said you just filled up your oil but what's your oil pressure reading? Maybe the oil pump/lifters/whatever isn't working 100% or something. Eh, just a saftey check, just guage it to see if it's enough.
