If you have access to a Good scan tool you can monitor those sensors with out having to unhook/wire/take things apart.

Just take the vtec solenoid off on the passenger side of the engine, 3-10mm bolts and remove the screen and clean it with brake cleaner. Then reinstall it and see if it works, had to do it to mine but that wasn't the issue for me. I looked closer and my turbo melted the vtec solenoid wire...

Absolutely. I use a scanner too. I should have mentioned that. I was just thinking of around the house tricks to test it.

Eric is right too. It's not hard at all to pull it off. Just be very gentle and sort of peel the sensor off. The o-ring can tear if you yank it.
