Default NEED HELP B16a OBD0 (Code 21 VTEC Solenoid Valve)

I just swapped in B16a into my EF. Its throwing a (Code 21 VTEC Solenoid Valve) I tried cleaning the VTEC solenoid, Changed the oil, checked my connections on the ECU pin A8 and its still throwing a code. When I get home I'm gonna use my voltmeter and check for continuity. Any other suggestions?

Check to make sure the pressure switch pin is into the correct spot in the ecu. You can also get a factory service manual from helms for a 1995 delsol VTEC and troubleshoot the pressure switch.
