Default ls vtec swap complete........but vtec problems.

ok guys the swap is complete but my o2 sensor for the headers is not hooked up yet, so my car isn't pulling as hard as my friends crx with a b17, so does a CEL = NO VTEC???

my vtec does not want to work in my h22 civic... well is kind of does, you an hear something very light around 5k but there is no power gain. it only revs to like 6800 then it just dies

have you ran your vtec solenoid to switch and see if that makes it work? you should try that it is probably your last resort but will let you know if everything is working fine.
