Default LS/vtec problems

Alright im not a noob at cars so i don't need stupid answers. Im looking for actual possible fixes for my car.

I have a 98 Integra with LS/vtec. I originally put the engine in the car and i get cel code 10 and cel code 22 on every cold start. So intake temperature i really dont care too much about buy another sensor and it should fix it. My problem lies with cel 22. I switched the vtec pressure switch with one off a working care and still throwing code 22.... On top of that after i drive on the highway for a while and get off when i come to a stop light the oil light starts blinking at idle..... and after the car warms up all check engine lights clear...

First i changed the oil pump figuring that could be the issue. I replaced the rod bearings when i did the oil pump. Got it all back together started it up went down the road and bam oil light starts blinking again. So i say **** it and go buy a b18b block figuring the b18a one i originally had was just old and could be screwed up inside. The b18b came out of a running car with no issues. Opened it up replace all bearing main and rod bearings and replaced with another oil pump. Reassembled everything again and it ran alright for about 2 weeks. But now the oil light is popping on again..

Honestly i am stumped..... I have taken the oil pan off 2 times in the past 2 weeks trying to see if anything is stuck to the sump and its clean. Taken off the vtec solenoid a few times as well and its a little dirty but nothing that should be making it throw a cel 22. I've replaced the oil pressure switch and i crimped down the plug for it as well so its tight fitment.

I know i should go buy an oil pressure gauge and im in the process of that but i just wanted to see if any of the tech heads could possibly steer me in a good direction and see what your opinion is on this matter...

Thanks for your help

check oil lines and sandwich plate to make sure that they are clean and not clogged.

Still no fix. Unplugged sensor wire and light goes away. So not a short

You unplugged the wire, but have you tried changing out the stock oil pressure switch?
