Frequently Asked Questions
Why do 1990-1993 Accords so often have distributor problems?
The F22A engine family uses an internal distributor design where the igniter and coil are housed inside the distributor cap. Heat cycling degrades the igniter over time, causing hard starting, misfires, or a no-start condition. This manual provides full distributor removal, inspection, and replacement procedures along with ignition timing specs so you can restore reliable spark.
Which chassis codes identify the fourth-generation Accord?
The 1990-1993 Honda Accord rides on the CB-series platform. US-market sedans carry the CB7 designation, while the two-door coupe uses the CB9 code. Both body styles – and all trim grades from base DX through the top EX – are fully covered in this manual.
Does the manual cover the automatic transmission shift solenoids?
Yes. The electrical and transmission chapters include detailed testing procedures for the shift solenoids in the 4-speed automatic, along with valve body removal steps, fluid capacity specs, and diagnostic trouble code interpretation to help diagnose slipping or delayed engagement complaints common to these units.
