How is the wiring messed up? If it's a gsr then you shouldn't even need to wire it in.

If the car itself is a GSR model, the Vtec wiring would already be there. The only time you would have to wire in vtec is if the car model is an ls, rs,etc...

Also what are you referring to as obd2? The 95 model is obd1.

You don't even need plugs. The solenoid can be wired straight to the ecu and on the pressure switch you can ground one wire right on the valve cover and wire the other straight to the ecu. The type of plug makes absolutely no difference in anything.

There is an OBD1 PR3, for the JDM Integra XSi with the B16A. Do you have any check engine lights?

1.) Check the engine light codes
2.) Take a picture and post it
3.) There is no "sub harness"
4.) I would get an OBD-I P72 ECU, OBD-I wiring harness (should have two plugs connecting to the distributor; OBD-II has one larger plug)
5.) Make sure there's enough oil in the pan, and subsequently enough oil pressure for the VTEC solenoid to operate properly
6.) Make sure the VTEC pressure switch wire is connected, and the VTEC solenoid plugged in to the OBD-I Engine harness.
