Default question about vtec for b16

i have a b16a2 that did not come with a pressure switch so i put it in thinking the vtec would work then because it works off of oil pressure. but it still didnt work. so i did an oil pressure test and it only had like 5 psi of pressure at the sylenoid. i was wondering if any of you had the same problems with your vtec. please give me your ideas on what else i can do to get it to work. thanks
