Your P72 is chipped I assume to disable the knock sensor and the IAB control? You don't have a knock sensor or a GSR manifold (with secondary butterfly) so you're probably throwing at least one CEL...?

Speed sensor could cause it. Vtec won't engage below 10 mph or is it 15 mph........ LOL

i would obviously check oil pressure first. what oil pump are you using? if you are positive your solenoid is good and everything is hooked up properly i would then check the dowel pins.
