look at the stamp on the motor, just above the exhaust manifold, look for a round stamp.

The only valve cover that have VTEC-E in the U.S are the 92-95 civic VX. Don't expect for horse power or looking to mod the engine. It basically a waste of time for performance. These motor are design to save gas.

Now about the o2 sensor. It depends if you have 4 or 5 wires.

4 wire o2 are California emission.
5 wire 02 are 49 state or sometimes call Federal emission.

There are so many more information about the VX. Feel free to ask. Ignore all the rest of the jack *** on H-T.

the vx motor should be getting you around 30mpg... my little 95 vx gets right around 30, but it also has 390k miles on it... keep up on maintenance and that motor will last you forever...

The VX is capable of 65 mpg highway if done correctly. You must have serious issues if you aren't getting good mileage. By the way the D15Z1 was only found in the VX models from '92 - '95. Good luck with your VX...BTW I have a VX O2 sensor for sale...but they are not cheap. Just call the honda dealer and price one.

Also, the gears are the same between the CX and VX models, and yes they are EXTREMELY LONG!

Yikes! Either you really suck at driving and safe gas. Or your VX needs a complete tune up.

Mine is the CA version. I get 43mpg in the city and 55 on highway. Federal suppose to get about 3mpg better in both city and highway.

Gearing on these model are very long. 1st gear goes to about 40, 2nd about 75-80, third probably 110, 4th..... the car doesn't enough power to find out. But it should be listed in the owners manual.

Transmission and engine are not suppose to wine. It's possible that your transmission main shalf bearing is going.

Before you get ripped on hardcore, try to use as much punctuation and correct grammar as possible.
