Default Install DC strut bar and now no vtec... WTF?

So after installing the DC bar, I went for spin and hit WOT and no vtec and the check engine goes on....Once i turn off the car, the light goes away and only comes back only when i hit Vtec...wha the bloodclot

I think i might have unplug the wire to the vtec soleniod, but i am not sure which one it is....

CEL code is 21....

I google it and found out code 21 is this...

Solenoid Valve
defective circuit or unplugged / defective solenoid valve
* not a valid code if car does not have a VTEC engine
** not with V-6 engine

I must have unplugged when i was movin the wires around to fit the brace on the tower ...I am gonna check that **** in the mornin...

Thanks for your help

To make a long story short....basically, after checking the resistance and cleanin the vtec soleniod filter and still no VTEC and the CEL... it was a ****** wire that was stuck under the brace that cause it....
