Check hoses too for the evap code, and do some electrical wizardry on the VTEC solenoid. Probably something stupid simple. Looks better off the floor.

Turns out the connectors were swapped on the EVAP purge solenoid and that other thing. Oops. Not too big of a hit in the wallet. I'll throw mine's on eBay.
My oil light flickers at idle after I've been commuting for about 30 mins. I'm going to do an oil change because I don't know what weight oil is in this thing. Maybe it'll fix my vtec issue.
Thanks Chris. I agree, I've never been a fan of the whole slam it to the ground thing.
My dad found a guy with a Trans am that's collecting dust...if it's an '00 or '01 then I'll dump the Lude for that no questions. Hell if it's any year with a v8 and a manual trans.Last edited by sonikaccord; 01-29-2016, 10:06 PM.

VTAK works
It was a clogged screen. I have pics, prepared to be grossed out. I guess the previous owner of the engine never took it up past 5k.
I seriously may want to let this thing go now that it's operational. Even if I break even, I still have 2 free engines. This stalling and oil light issue scares me. The motor feels and sounds healthy though. I have a couple more things to try, if it doesn't work, then I'm going to get rid of her. Going to see more about that T/A.

I figured out what it was...bad news. That was a bearing taking a shit. I got some serious rod knock on the home today. So that pretty much wraps this project up in short order. It's strange though, I feel like it was something I overlooked and could have prevented...maybe this is destiny telling me to go back and focus on the CB. idk...kinda pissed, but not really. I think this was much needed, something to get out of my system. I started to feel myself about to sink a lot of money into this,
Here are some pics of the VTEC solenoid:
