Default Where is vtec grounded too w/ oem harness.

i finally have no check engine lights when the car is running but i still get a code 21 and 22 when i check it. vtec definitly is working somewhat now (after re wiring it.). but not sure why the codes are going off.. i disconnected my battery to reset it but still the same.

the vtec wires are stock in the engine harness (si) but im not sure where the ground on the green connector is ran too. i just wanted to check it and make sure. anyone know?

its a d15b 95' CX hatch. Si harness, cx dash harness incase your wondering.

it feels fast now but i didnt know if vtec could "half" work or not...

the wire going to the solenoid is a positive from the ecu.

vtec is either on or off, so no "half working".

is your ecu chipped?
did you run the extra wires from the ecu to the engine harness?
are you running a p28 ecu?

Did you even disconnect your battery to remove the codes? If not disconnect it for a few minutes then try it.
