You haven't said that you have any problem. If the motor is running fine and you just want to know why the wires are spliced, you should get a pinout diagram for your ECU and then follow where the wires lead.

Replace the thermostat if it hasn't been replaced recently. Vtec won't engage if the engine isn't up to normal operating temperature. You can also check the motor's temp to see how well it's warming up.
