ummm that would be me... and no. it had nothing to do with oil pressure actually, it was the map sensor. without the map sensor it was running extremely rich all the time. once i had the map sensor wired in everything started working again including vtec.

but it's definitely something to look into. change your oil and check the pressure.

you say you smell fuel? if you're running rich i'm guessing it could be possible that vtec doesn't work with too much fuel considering my situation. however, i would recommend taking it to someone that knows what they're doing.

vtec seems to be pretty tricky. my friend's h22 rarely gets vtec to work.
