Default Vtec Malfunction

i have code 23 or 22....forgot...its Vtec Malfunction for sure though....i did my swap...b16a2 in ek from my ex ej1......vtec was working and now it doesnt work....i tried cleaning it and changing the spring to a new one....and still nothing....does the solenoid need to be grounded? i have 1 plug of 2 wires hooked up for the vtec pressure switch, and 1 wire to the solenoid....i use to get code for oil pressure switch...but replaced it as well....im running a virgin p28.
