VTEC LIGHT STAYS ON!!!!

Are you sure you tapped the right wire? The only reason it would be on all the time is if you tapped a wire with power all the time.
I second that. It took me 3 tries before i got it right. Just was tapping the wrong wires. Theres 4 plugs to the ECU, use the second one (starting count from the bottom), its a white plug. Unplug that, then find the wire in the top row t hat is GREEN w/ a yellow stripe. Then tap it.
THANKS i fixed the problem like 10 minutes after i posted this. it frustrated me to death all day. i tapped a wire where the passangers right foot would be there are two plugs up under there the second plug has a green wire and a yellow stripe. that was my problem!!!! also, the wire splicers they recommend dont work worth a shi%t, you need to tap into the wire and solder your new wire to it.
