Would my 2003 Honda Civic LX have a vvt solenoid I had timing belt and water pump replaced from a mechanic and now it keeps throwing cam sensor code and it won't let me get over 3,300 RPMs

You should probably check engine timing. Would also be a good idea to check crank and cam sensors, make sure they were plugged back in.

And make sure he didn't put aftermarket sensors in

I guess best thing to do is just take it back to them. You paid them to do a timing belt and now have issues that could absolutely be caused by their work.

ah, typically after timing/water pump, high chances the sensors (camshaft/crankshaft) fail. Mine did.
could be grease/other fluids getting to them, could be because they were in place for decades and suddenly unplugged, etc

no VVT in D17A1, and honda calls them VTEC. VVT only changes timing, not camshaft lobes

They're all plugged in and new they're refusing to fix the timing

New aftermarket? Junk, need oem.

What's throwing me off with it is it gave me a code for the variable timing solenoid oil pressure switch but I don't have a VTEC unit anywhere

?

so do you have VTEC issues or camshaft issues codes?
VTEC - check if there is enough oil in the engine

Fresh oil I don't even have a VTech solenoid on this one it's just the 1.6 LX but apparently I have a VVT oil pressure switch on it is with the code was coming up as and I still had the cam sensor code too but that's the only two

again, there is no VVT in the 7th gen civics. That's a different system, VVT changes the angle of the camshaft. The 7th gen cars have a VTEC-E, that changes from 3 to 4 valve operation - different animals (exception to Si model K-series engines).
What is the code you are getting?

Camshaft position sensor - I am not saying that they are unplugged. They tend to fail after being unplugged after decades in place.Or contaminated by grease or something during the job. Get a new sensor. Aftermarket does not agree with hondas, get a denso or NTK sensor. Or you can get one in a junkyard.

I will definitely give it a try thanks
