The car runs good above 2000rpm but has a hesitation before(little bit of a miss fire) and i get a mil comeing on right away apon startup with code 21 and 22 which is vtec but the ecu is a virgin(not socketed), any info would be much appreciated TY.

oh oh.. should i take my hat of to you?
A P75 Ecu can not physically throw codes for vtec, it does not have the hardware to do it. Unless of course it was converted or the rom looks for vtec hardware where there is none.
here is a little write up for a p75 to vtec; look to see if you see and hardware changes on your ecu;

I think you're either looking up the wrong codes or counting wrong.
I'm also a tech, but instead of just honda, I do all European except Jaguar/Land Rover/Exotics, all japanese, all american, and all korean. Why don't you find a REAL technician to pull codes through the 3 pin connector that's next to the 2 pin. The 3 pin connector does more than just blinking the light. It will save you more time than waiting for the internet to respond to you.
