no you cant simulate a VSS pulse cause its a magnetic pulse that has to read a certan amount of "teeth" per second (or how ever its rated) your just gonna have to do with out vtec for a little bit.. but if you have abs becareful cause they go off of the vss so just becareful about hitting the breaks to fast

Are you sure your VSS is really bad? If so, try to pick one up from a junkyard.
