b16y7? maybe d16y7? If that's it then no, it doesn't have vtec unless it has a minime swap which i doubt. and also, when the car is cold it is suppose to idle at higher RPM's then when warm.

Re: new to honda's
your questions should stop now...we'd appreciate it.
you should ask your questions to google. Next time instead of starting a new thread here, simply type the same thing into google and get the answer yourself.

Re: new to honda's
OP, you (probably) have a D16Y7, not a B16 variant. There is no such thing as a B16Y7.
The D16Y7 is a non-vtec, 1.6L SOHC motor. It's the most basic of the basic motors for 96-00 Civics. The only thing worth doing to it is slapping a small turbo on it, and having fun with 180-200whp. If you want more power than that, you'll either need a different motor, or you'll need to put entirely too much money into it to be worthwhile.

1) You most likely have the D15B7 unless there was a motor swap which could mean you could have almost anything else. If your engine says D15B7 on the block stamp and looks like this: (and it's the original motor):
2) There's no VTEC in the D15B7 if that's what you got, unless you've got a VTEC head (mini-me swap) which would mean you'd have a VTEC solenoid. It looks like this:
3) Is it buildable? Don't consider all-motor, even if you're incredibly poor it'd be a waste of money.
Intake? - No, no noticeable power. Just sound.
(does cold air intake make a difference? nope)
Headers? - No, no noticeable power. Just sound.
Exhaust? - No, no noticeable power. Just sound.
The above, if you spend around $100 for ebay parts in total, or spend up to $700 on genuine parts there's no power that was worth it. You're best off turbocharging it for around $2,500 piecing everything together, tuning it and being satisfied at 200hp (+100hp) instead of the +3hp you'd get with headers intake and exhaust (no tune). Honestly, if you have no idea what you're doing, tackling this feat isn't worth it. Figure out the best options first, like swapping in a VTEC Head, or swapping a complete motor in whether it's a B, D, H, K, or J series.
4) If you have a fluctuating idle refer to these threads from the FAQ
94 Civic jbp, so likely the D15B7
