Make sure the car is warming up enough, if you have a bad thermostat, it can keep it from coming up to temp and then VTEC will almost never come on. Otherwise, check for codes...

I let it warm up for 20 min, the motor was running fine when it was in my old crx , and the motor sat for 3 weeks before I put in my 90hf..

Double check your wiring and oil level.
