I believe it's the 2P connector for the VTEC oil pressure switch.

Pressure switch: 37250-PR3-003 $50
O-ring 13x1.5: 91319-PR3-003 $1.75

You could always try to find a used switch, but they are usually sold with the whole solenoid.

You could also cheat and wire your pressure switch to your VTEC solenoid as well, but you won't pass inspection with that broken sensor. It will however allow the engine to run like normal and keep the check engine light off. This is what we do for JDM motors (no pressure switch) running off US ECUs.

pretty sure you have a check engine light for that. once you replace the vtec pressure switch, reset the ecu

The CEL for vtec will only come on if you are running a VTEC enabled ecu and you surpass the rpm of engagement.
