I think the blacked out 17s and v tech could be the problem..

Why do you need pics do diagnose a VTEC issue? When did all of these stop working?

Look at pic #3. It tells you right there. It's a P2P ECU. Why do you think it's unidentifiable?

Um. The ID sticker is right on the ECU-P2P-A83. There's really no such thing as a P2P harness.
