look for the sensor on back side of the head towards the throttle body. is has a green plug on it. engine code should be D16Y8.

it is VTEC, u should feel or hear it engage, or even easier see if theres a selenoid, just because it doesnt say VTEC doesnt mean its not, just like the d16z6 it didnt say VTEC on the VC until 94-95, but there was vtec with the d16z6
