Honda Del Sol

follow the center console to the firewall. you will see a black plastic cover right next to the accelerator pedal and the other end of the cover on the passenger side footwell. four screws hold on the covers. four torx screws hold in module.

which motor do you have in your del sol ? 1.5Liters(motor size) should be the same as a civic 92-95 wich should be 3.8liters and if you have a 1.6si (vtech) i don't know how much oil should go in

its actually really simple,you just open the trunk and behind the tail lights your remove the carpeting and you'll find screws remove them and tail light will come right off and do it vise-versa to put them back ;).

Buy Chilton's service manual from Kragen.

From the fornt of the car, the oil filter is located at the back of the engine about in the middle. You can reach it from underneath by lifting the car in the front, and supporting it with jack stands. Slide under to the rear of the engine. Look up and you will see it hanging down.

It is best to have an oil filter wrench. I taped mine so it wouldn't fall off when I turned it. Use the new filter as a guide.

Once you remove the old filter, be sure to wipe the filter area clean. Then, lubricate the new filter o'ring with new oil. Screw it back on, and hand-tighten only. Jack the car down, fill with new oil, start the car and check for leaks. That's it.

After running for a few minutes, turn off the engine, and wait a few minutes, and check the dip stick. If necessary, top off the oil. don't overfill though.

Then go enjoy your ride.

it means of the sun...

sol = sun

del = de + el (of the)

hope that helped, a little beginners spanish lesson.

Honda said no more. the del sol replaced the crx which was a great little car. the problem with a del sol from a performance stand point is it is overweight. that is besides the point though. Honda got rid of the del sol. they probably were not selling enough.

In the U.S., Honda sold 25,000 del Sol's in the first year (1993), but only 5,603 in the last year (1997). ( http://www.automotiveforums.com/t305664-faq___del_sol_general_info_and_questions.HTML )

It certainly has leaving many people, including me, out of pocket.

5W 30 of any brand you like, Honda recommends their Honda Brand.

try a new ignition moduel!!

About 11.9 Gallons DSR.

Go to you local public library and ask them for the books on it.

usually yes but you need to now if the del sol engine is a dohc or a sohc

you need to remove the cover or whatever you call it to get to the radio. then you have to unscrew the radio and then you can just pull it out. it should take you no more than 10 minutes. remember though that the the piece is a big it goes from just after your shifter to just below the temperature gauges. I have a 1993 del sol. What you should do it remove all the screws from the center consol including the ones on the cupholder / arm rest. You want to remove the whole cupholder assembly first by lifting the edge closest to the rear window. Disconect the cigarette lighter cable and set the cupholder aside. Now you want to put the car in D1, if you have an automatic, to remove the upper assembly more easily. Unscrew the housing around the sterio and you're done. Remeber not to disconnect the factory sterio if you don't know the password.

I have a 1993 Honda del sol SI automatic. If you are standing in front of the car facing the engine, it's located to the left of the engine. Stick your head in on the pasanger side of the car and look down towards the back of the transmission, you should see a yellow dipstick.

Yes. All del Sol models for the United States (USDM) market had them.

You most probably have air in your brake lines. You can bleed the air out with the help of an assistant. There should be a bleeder screw located somewhere on the brake back of the caliper. Loosen this srew as your assistant presses the brake pedal (make sure your assistant does not let up on the pedal). As soon as the fluid is clear of air bubbles, tighten the screw snugly (do not overtighten (could break). Repeat these steps for the opposite side. Hope this helps.

The number one reason for a Honda oil leak is that the car is a Honda

This sounds facetious but it is true. The reason Hondas are cheap and reliable is because the engine is made with aluminum parts that fit together somewhat loosely while cold and slowly tighten when they heat up. All cars do this but the Honda keeps it looser so there is less stress on the engine after hundreds of thousands of mile.

There are some things you can do to mitigate most leaks, however.

Number one is to tighten all the bolts on the engine head and block.

If you want to get real frosty with it you can replace the gasket on the valve cover as this is the #1 spot that leaks.

Also be sure you aren't overfilling the oil, this will cause pressure which can damage gaskets and worsen any leaks.

most are made in japan, there are stickers on the car that will tell you one sould be somewhere on the subframe.

Under the steering column to the left under the cruise control module Below is a great site that will help walk you through finding your relay http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/mainrelayoperation/index.html

Pop the hood you'll see two adjustment screws on top of each head light. Do it at night on a level road surface and pull up to a wall so you can see where the headlights are pointed at.

Use the wall as a guide, you don't wan't the headlights to high or too low, on the wall. The del sol can get away with having headlights a little higher than stock since the car is much lower than most of the cars on the road. Just make sure you can see a good distance ahead. Have you change the bulbs to brighter ones? You might also wanna get a plastic lens cleaner/scrub which will buff out milky plastic headlights.

The map sensor is located on top of your throttle body. If u have stock or after market intake that is connected to the throttle body right on top of the throttle body there is a black sensor and it will say map sensor

Hope this helped

Pulling a del sol engine is not a difficult task as far as cars go. Since there is no crossmember in the way of the engine/transmission assy. it basically falls out the bottom. first , get yourself a big roll of masking tape and a permanent marker, labeling everything will save you alot of headache later. Before you start ripping off wires and lines, DISCONNECT THE NEGATIVE BATTERY TERMINAL! shorting any wires could destroy the on board computer which can be pretty pricey. you will notice a substantial number of rubber vacuum lines running to various components under the hood, i.e. brake booster, fuel rail, intake manifold, etc. carefully remove these from the engine so as to not rip.tear any of them and label their locations ( my best method is to number where they go i.e. put a number 1 on the connector and a number one on the line that came off of it and so on). be aware of fuel lines and keep a drain pan and rags handy as there is a possibility that they might still be under pressure. safety glasses are your friend. next you will see two fat rubber hoses one on top the engine and one on the bottom, and two 1 inch or so lines running from the back of the engine to the firewall, these lines have engine coolant in them as does the engine, keep a drain pan handy and disconnect these from the motor. after the lines are removed there should be about 6 or so large wire connectors on the left and right sides of the engine compartment, disconnect these and label etc. finally remove the axles from the transmission, simply use a pry bar to gently pull the inner axle shafts out of the housing. place a few blocks of wood, jack stannds or whatever you have under the transmission/engine snugly. there are two motor mount bolts and two transmission mount bolts and viola the engine is free! jack the body of the car up over the engine and drag it out. remember safety first, wear gloves, safety glasses, careful with fuel and if your not sure, ask an experienced mechanic.
