Default Problem with vtec - HELP!

I have a delsol 1992 dohc. When I enter into vtec I it does kick in but I get this horrible high metallic sound. Any ideas what this is would be a big help, the engine check light is coming on, the code appears to be cel 1 - Oxygen sensor #1. Would this cause the sound?

Help!!!

Can you verify the CEL? My friends car "appears" to be a beater but in reality he's got a built engine under the hood making his car a sleeper. We would need a little more history to properly diagnose.

It appears to be a single short flash repeating. Which is oxygen sensor, would this cause the problem?
