Probably code 21 and/or 22.
VTEC doesn't put the computer in limp mode, with VTEC disabled, the ECU redline for the primary lobes is just lower, that's all.
Check the VTEC solenoid and jump it.
You can do this by unplugging the solenoid, and taking a wire from the + on the battery, and with the wire touch the plug pin going to the solenoid. It should click.
Also, you need to make sure the oil level is completely full, and you also have a properly oil line coming from the back of the block to the head.
Where did you tap the oil line?
Keep us posted.
