Well code 41 is O2 Sensor heater. Not sure what 10 is.

If it's 1 and 0 then

1 = Oxygen content
0= ECU

i my using a unchipped p28. i just swap the b16 into my car. its a 95vx. i am sure all the wiring is right. i am leaking a little bit of oil too tho. but its just about 10 drops or so aday. my speedometer now is flicking up and down when i drive normal, what does that mean??? i have heard that if u use a stock motor, dont u synthetic oil cause it might not make vtec work???? is it true???

Not true. Speedo acting up is most likely a speed sensor problem, and that will cause VTEC not to work. ECU needs speed sensor input for VTEC.

On top of the valve cover? I would have to see that one-oil fill cap maybe? Crankcase breather hose to air intake? Don't honestly know.

Clean your engine and find the source of the leak. As for this question " what is the best position for the screw in the itb be??? in the middle or all the way to left or right side(daily drive and for best proformance)??"--I don't understand what you are asking. It sounds like your car needs some professional help-to be honest, it sounds like a mess.
