1993–1997 Honda CR-X del Sol Service & Body Repair Manual Set

This 1993–1997 Honda CR-X del Sol manual set combines Honda service documentation for D15B7, D16Z6, D16Y7, D16Y8, B16A2, and B16A3 engines with a separate Body Repair Manual. U.S. and Canadian S, Si, and VTEC configurations are identified separately.

• Engine repair: Cylinder-head and engine-block disassembly, valve-train inspection, timing-belt replacement, valve-clearance adjustment, and VTEC solenoid valve testing.

• Transaxle service: Clutch overhaul, manual and automatic transmission disassembly, differential inspection, hydraulic pressure testing, and transmission reassembly.

• Fuel and emissions: PGM-FI troubleshooting, Diagnostic Trouble Code charts, fuel-pressure inspection, sensor testing, and Three Way Catalytic Converter (TWC) inspection.

• Brakes and chassis: Conventional brake service, Anti-lock Brake System (ABS) diagnosis, modulator and accumulator service, steering inspection, driveshaft repair, and wheel alignment.

• Body and removable roof: Roof seals, latch adjustment, roof-holder components, damaged-panel replacement, body measurements, and frame repair charts.

• Heating and air conditioning: HVAC troubleshooting, heater and blower overhaul, A/C performance testing, refrigerant service, and compressor-clutch inspection.

• Electrical diagnosis: Wiring diagrams, connector views, starter and charging-system tests, control-unit input checks, and Supplemental Restraint System (SRS) service precautions.

The internal overhaul procedures and body-repair information suit technicians familiar with workshop measurement, electrical diagnosis, and specialist service equipment; the body manual expressly assumes knowledge of standard workshop procedures.

Engine Repair, Valve Timing, and Cooling

The service chapters separate SOHC D-series work from DOHC B-series procedures. Cylinder-head coverage extends to valve-guide replacement and reaming, valve-seat reconditioning, camshaft inspection, and VTEC rocker-arm checks.

Engine-block sections cover piston and connecting-rod inspection, crankshaft and bearing assessment, and oil-pump service. Torque tables, fluid capacities, wear limits, and assembly clearances accompany the relevant procedures.

Timing-belt instructions address inspection, removal, installation, and tension adjustment. The notes specifically distinguish counterclockwise crankshaft rotation from clockwise rotation that can produce an incorrect tension adjustment. Cooling coverage includes water-pump inspection and replacement, thermostat testing, radiator leak testing, and coolant refilling and bleeding.

Clutch and Transmission Overhaul

Manual-transmission chapters cover synchronizer inspection, shift-fork clearances, housing bearings, and mainshaft thrust-shim selection. The mainshaft holder 07GAJ-PG20110 appears in the adjustment procedure, which warns that excessive holder travel can damage the transmission.

Automatic-transmission coverage includes valve-body repair, clutch inspection and reassembly, ATF-pump inspection, lock-up solenoid testing, and cooler flushing. Power Flow and Hydraulic Flow diagrams explain operation, while symptom-to-component charts help connect a shift complaint with the appropriate hydraulic or electrical test.

PGM-FI and Electrical Fault Tracing

Vacuum Connections drawings and Electrical Connectors schematics distinguish engine configurations and show the circuits associated with fuel and emissions control. ECM troubleshooting flowcharts connect fault codes with connector checks and component tests, helping technicians investigate a circuit before selecting replacement parts.

Starting and charging sections include starter engagement checks, current-draw testing, solenoid tests, and alternator diagnosis. Body-electrical coverage extends to lighting, gauges, interlocks, and roof-warning circuits.

ABS, Steering, and HVAC Diagnosis

ABS documentation includes a Symptom-to-System Chart, wheel-sensor signal checks, ALB Checker function tests, and hydraulic bleeding procedures. Steering and suspension chapters cover manual and power-steering components, steering-gear inspection, and alignment data.

HVAC diagnosis uses symptom charts and Heater Control Panel Input/Output Signals. A/C sections distinguish Sanden and Nippondenso compressor service and include pressure-test charts, leak testing, evacuation, and charging.

SRS sections address airbag storage orientation and accidental-deployment hazards. Please note: This documentation serves strictly as a professional reference. Always consult a certified technician before performing service, diagnostics, or structural repair on this vehicle.

Roof Service and Collision Repair

The mechanical service material covers removable-roof seals, latches, roof-holder adjustment, and related warning-system troubleshooting.

The separate Body Repair Manual addresses accident-damage assessment, panel replacement, welding methods, sealant locations, and corrosion protection. Body Dimensional Drawings and the Frame Repair Chart support structural measurement; additional chapters cover body and exterior resin-part paint repair. Standard workshop procedures and general service fundamentals are expressly outside the body manual’s instructional scope.

A Sample of Fuel-Pressure and Mainshaft Specifications

These examples represent a small selection of the inspection and adjustment data in the service documentation.

The 1997 fuel-pressure inspection specifies 270–320 kPa at idle with the regulator vacuum hose disconnected and pinched, compared with 220–250 kPa with the hose connected.

For the S8G manual transmission, the mainshaft thrust-shim procedure specifies standard end play of 0.11–0.18 mm, measured at room temperature.

PDF Search, Bookmarks, and Publication Breakdown

Finding procedures and reading diagrams: Embedded text supports searching across both publications, but some tables and diagram labels are not searchable. Bookmarks cover both manuals, although many entries use file codes. Small labels in denser wiring diagrams require zooming.

The download contains one printable, 2,184-page PDF combining the following publications:

Three additional pages—a preliminary notice page and two blank pages—are already included in the 2,184-page total.
