VTEC not working after swap

[chthonian]

I just threw my new motor in after a bad case of rod knock. Since I was putting in a new short block, I threw my built head on as well. Since then, I have no VTEC. I'm not at all familiar with Honda systems, as I've only had this car a year and this is the first really major work I've had to do. I've got a slight vacuum leak at the TB. I think I may have hooked something up wrong, but my manual doesn't say shit about any of the sensors. If someone with a little more experience with this system could let me know what to check, I'd greatly appreciate it.

car?
block?
head?
ecu?

sorry. shouldn't post between jobs at work. it's a 2000 EX with the D16Y8. Top end consists of a Crower Stage 2 cam, 1mm oversized valves, skunk2 manifold, and AEM rail and FPR. On the stock ECU for now

Check your oil level and then check your vtec solenoid to make sure it is functioning properly.

Oil is full. VTEC solenoid is where? My manual sucks

Its bolted to the backside of the head on the distributor side. Do you have a v-tec or engine light?

[chthonian]

I've got an engine light, but it's random misfire codes on all cylinders. I'm still playing with the cam and ignition timing. I'll swap out the solenoid. I've got a newish one on the old motor

Swapped the solenoid right before I went home today. VTEC kicks in normal. Thanks for the help guys. Just need a tune then I'll put up my figures
