Default No vtec, what could be the symptoms?

Ok as some of yall know, my Si had jumped timing by a LOT and I think valves made a little love to piston because leakdown test showed a 30-40% leak. There is NO evdence of a valve hitting a piston by looking at the valves or pistons. Not sure what really happend.

So anyways....I got another head, went though it all, lapped the valves, all cleaned up, Felpro headgasket, ARP headstuds, pulled the pan/windage tray/oil pickup and cleaned it all out, wanted to make sure that absolutely no antifreeze got to the bottom end (and it didn't ), new Felpro pickup tube gasket and oil pan gasket, cleaned everything up and put it back together, fresh oil, new timing belt, timing is dead on all, adjusted the valve lash, everything tripple checked for leaks and to make sure sensors and ect were all plugged in.

Everything is good except for 1 sensor plug that I cant find that goes to anything. Not sure it was even pluged in before. Its on the same line of wires that the big dizzy conector is, I can get pics of that later.


Anyways it runs great, better then before, but I have no vtec. The head went together correctly, and the solenoid was pulled from my head and put on the new head (was a working solenoid). What do I need to check? Oil is there, not sure of oil pressure.
