Default vtec solenoid leaking oil and car running bad

Hi guys, today I decided to remove the Vtec solenoid off the mount and took off the three bolts. Now that I put it on and turned on the car it stalls and dies? What could it be? is it not building pressure? or it isn't seal right? please help! thanks

I am not sure. I would think it just wouldn't go into vetc if their was something wrong. it isn't a very complex system. i guess I would just take it off and put it back on. maybe oil the gasket that goes around it. if that doesn't work then I would just take it to a shop as it shouldn't be that hard to diagnose but they will probably just replace the whole unit.
