I can't recall the code but I'm sure it's the vtec solenoid. I'm jus having trouble locating it under the hood

What trim level is your V6? Coupe with M/T or something else? For V6 models, only V6 coupe with M/T suppose to have VTEC. The solenoid is located on the oil filter housing (what the oil filter attaches to).

Also, posting the code will be better, as sometimes it came mean something else.
