check the vtec oil pressure sensor.. it's the green plug on the vtec solenoid.. unbolt it with a 15mm or 17 mm socket I believe and check it.. or just change the whole vtec solenoid..

After I got my b16a swap done I was throwing a cel light code #22 also> It sucks now vtec. Well what I did is I did the DIY CEL test and found out there was another code that was being thrown it was the tps sensor code. I fixed that and the CEL went away completly.

Now do not get me wrong here.
THIS DOES NOT MEAN THAT YOU CEL IS FOR YOUR TPS!!!
I am just saying that that applied to my story, your could be something else.

Code 22 is the vtec saftey code it is the one that protects your motor when you ECU is confused, It throws the car into limp mode so you do not damage the motor. So if you find out that it is not the vtec pressure switch, restet your ECU, if that does not work see if your car is throwing any other codes if so fix them first and see if that helps. If that doesnt work then I am stumped.

Oh yeah if you are running a JDM or certain chipps in your ECU then you will throw code 36. But this code does not throw the car into limp mode nor turn the CEL on. Do not worry about this code you cannot fix it.

what DIY CEL test?

I am gettting the code 22 and it's pissing me off so bad...i've cleaned all the screens, oil level is fine, i have continuity with my switch, only thing I havent done is the oil pressure test (which I will do today)....Only seems to happen when I drive it hard through the gears and then the light will kick on around 4th gear....

any help?
