Default tech question, help! vtec not working

so this weekend i swapped out my b16 block for my ls that got fixed, everything runs great, strong idle pulls hard. the onyl problem is that vtec is not activating.its a 91 ls block with no knokc sensor, chipped p28, vafc. i tryed hookin a 12volt to the vtec solinoid at idle and i can hear it click on butthe lobes arent switching, the funny thing is that im throwin NO CEL. my cel works but it jsut isnt registering a problem. everyhting i cna think of would thor w a code so i am stumped. ideas? im going to pull off the solinoid and check the screen, make sure there is nothing in teh way
please shed light on this!
