Default vtec help

The previous owner of my 95 coupe with a b16a swap bypassed the vtec with a wire to run it to a toggle switch on the dash. If i just remove the wire he used to bypass with will the vtec kick in when it is supposed to again?

Why on earth did he do that ? The solution:Re-wire it correctly to the ecu/solinoid.

With it seeing how they wired it its impossible to tell. However if they wired it like people normally do it should work. What ECU are you running?

And im pretty sure its still all wired to the ECU because the ECU is looking for the vtec. Its throwing CEL code #22 ( VTEC Malfunction )
