Default B16a in 89Si and having an ECU 22??? Vtec :(

Ok I noticed my ECU tonight, says ECU Code 22 on my B16a new ECU.
Code 22 is Variable Valve Timing & Valve Lift Electronic Control Pressure Switch (VTEC Pressure Switch). I havent learned enough about motors and all the techinical stuff yet, but how do I go about fixing whatever the problem is? I look under the hood, and on the left side of the block, theres a plug undone, and its not seeming to go back in. Could anyone tell me why my ecu is throwing this code?

Is the dangling connector coming from the VTEC solenoid? Did you wire VTEC?

I did not do the swap, and most likely dont have the knowledge to do so. I am looking at the 91 CRX service manual online and I cant find the Vtec stuff ANYWHERE. Here are some pictures of the motor. On the left hand bottom corner, theres a bunch of wires not hooked up, wondering what they are...
View them here http://community.webshots.com/...rbPPk . :-/ I really need some help on learning stuff. Im picking it up, very slowly though, I forget things all the time.

The reason you can't find any VTEC stuff in the service manual was that US spec EFs did not come with any VTEC motors. Here's a helpful diagram by Katman:



I don't know who did your swap or how your wiring is (as I could not get your pics to work), but if you don't feel comfortable fixing this yourself then I recommend you take the car to a reputable shop to get things fixed for you or maybe find a competent h-t member here that is local to you to lend you a hand. Good luck.
