Default Quick question, not in the search archive!!!

Ok finally finished the mini-me swap, fired up first start. Ok thequestion is, on the spool valve where the vtec solenoid is at, on the side of it si a hole looks like it could be for a sensor the guy that sold it to me left it out, so when I run the engine it squirts out on the side, the same side the dizzy is on. I capt it off with a screw, but am I missing a sensor or something, and do I need it?? Theres nothing on my harness that can plug into, so Im thinking its not important. But I just wanted to see if ya had a clue of what it is. Oh yeah my vtec wire is connected to the pinkvafc wire if that info helps(its kinda random).
Thanx

I believe that is where your VTEC oil pressure switch is supposed to be (if we are talking about the same plug). Unless you have a ecu that is reprogrammed not to look for it, you won't have VTEC activation.

I'm not too sure if the VAFC relies on the oil pressure switch to activate VTEC. I guess you can try it out and see if it works or not.
