Is your Intake Air Temp sensor connected? Check your wiring and also fix the eacv problem as well, then figuring out why VTEC is not engaging will be alot easier.

You can apply battery voltage to the solenoid, if you hear it click that will eliminate that as a problem...But as other said, need more info.

Is it off all the time or is intermittent? Is your water temp over 60 degrees celsius???
