Frequently Asked Questions
Which CR-X trim levels and chassis codes does this manual cover?
This manual covers all three US-market trims of the second-generation CR-X: the base DX, the high-efficiency HF, and the performance-oriented Si. Chassis codes EF7 and EF8 are both included, along with left- and right-hand-drive configurations as built for the 1988-1991 model years.
Is the CR-X related to the Honda Civic, and does this manual reflect shared components?
Yes – the second-generation CR-X rides on the same EF platform as the 1988-1991 Honda Civic, sharing suspension geometry, D-series engine mounts, and many drivetrain components. This manual documents those shared systems fully, so procedures often apply to both vehicles.
Are wiring diagrams included for the fuel injection and ignition systems?
Yes. Full electrical schematics cover the PGM-FI fuel injection circuits on D16A6 Si models, the carburetor-equipped D15B1/D15B2 systems, ignition wiring, charging and starting circuits, lighting, instrument cluster, fuse and relay boxes, and ground point locations throughout the chassis.
