It's VTEC..

Why was a new engine put in? What was it? Need for information..

I suggest you look up the ECU code and go from there.

What engine did you put into your DC5?

K20A2, K20Z, K24A3?

The scanner should of told you what you got the CEL for anyways.

Low oil pressure? Vtec solenoid might be damaged?

don't drive it like that with a cel

get the exact code and we can start to help out properly

and afaik no australian delivered k20a2's came with a red valve cover, only silver. i think....
