whoa, hold on. I dont see why you need to take out your dash.
The Speed Sensor(VSS) is located toward the rear of your transmission. If its a VSS issue causing vtec to not hit it would be here. not under your dash.

in order for VTEC to engauge quite a few conditions have to be met. One of them is a VSS signal. If the ecu doesn't know how fast its going it wont crack vtec. Just like it wont crack vtec if it doesn't know oil pressure.
