Default Engine Light On, Code 22, Engine Light Off... What's next?

Hi every body, First of I would like to introduce my self. My name is Dmitriy, I am from http://www.vancouverpreludeclub.com, this is my second prelude and I am loving it. Now here is the deal.... As soon as I got on the speedway I Go through 3gears and once I hit VTEC in 3rd gear and stay in it for couple secs my engine light goes on and stays on... *Heart attack* So I check the Flash Codes and it is 22. So I reset my ECU for about 10 minutes while my friends and I gather around in parking lot. The engine light is gone and dosen't come back, So i go back on the freeway, carefully reach VTEC in 3rd and 4th and just let it go. Since then the light didnt go on. Now if it is 22, I might need a new VTEC Pressure Switch? If this is the case what is it and where exactly is it located so I can install it my self. What should I do? I know if it went on once, itll do it again some other time yah know? Thx Guys!!

H22A1 Motor.

Code 22: Variable Valve Timing & Valve Lift Electronic Control (VTEC) Pressure Switch

Have you checked your oil level lately? This could be your problem.

The engine light went on, and I AM PRETTY SURE it is code 22, here is a vid where you can take a look what its flashing out... I used my digital cam.

So what do you guys think might be wrong with it? Should I replace the sensor? I checked it and it seems to be fine.... But you can never be sure. Thank You

WHATS THIS WIRE?

The one cirlced in Yellow, This was taken when I was replacing my old VTEC Pressure Switch since it was throwing CODE 22, thought it would fix it but it didnt, could you guys tell me what that loose wire is... maybe thats the problem and not the switch, since the switch didnt fix it....?
