I wouldn't do the vtec switch. I would sooner convert over to obd1. Because the Obd0 computer does not compensate for the bigger cams. Where as the vtec ecu gives you better ignition and fuel maps when you go into vtec. But i guess if you really want you can just do the switch.

Check your oil and make sure you have the proper ammount in there... or even if its old.... i dunno i remember my friend having the same problem and he jsut threw a nother quart in there and it was back up and running.....

As long as you have the oil jet out it should work, but its gonna suck without proper feul maps, like swapping over to obd1. Trusst me, ive been there.
