easyest way to do it is to sell the p28 for $100 and buy a matching ecu for your motor.if that doesnt fix it wecome to my world(low oil pressure)
hmmmm or get the ecu chipped,p28's are god!

how do u fix low oil pressure ?
replace the oil pan, or oil pump ?
would the oil light come on if pressure is low ?

try looking at the vtec solenoid. to me its uncommon to have a ecu cause vtec not to engage. my lil bros integra vtec works just that you cant hear it when it kicks in. low oil pressure can be caused by not having the right amount of oil.
