Default wiring for VTEC

I got a Y8 and the plug for the VTEC solenoid is broken. Ive heard that If im going to use the obd0 pm6 ecu and an RPM activated switch it doesnt matter if its broken. My question is...how do i wire the VTEC if i dont use that plug?

thanks pat

Which plug is broken? There are 2 seperate plugs on the Y8 vtec solenoid - the top one that is attached to a single wire is the actual vtec wire; the plug on the bottom that is integrated into the solenoid housing is the oil pressure switch. For OBD-0 systems, you don't have to worry about the pressure switch, just plug whichever device you're using to activate vtec into the singe vtec wire/plug...

The green plug is what broken, Im guessing the pressure switch. So i just hook the RPM activated switch to the small top plug.

thanks alot

the green plug its the oil press switch....
the top one its the vtec one......
even if u dont have the plug.... cut the cable right off the plug., and solder a terminal on it....... then use another terminal to hook it up.....
