Does this manual apply to my car? I just picked up a service manual for a 1994 Honda Accord Coupe. I have a 1991 Accord Coupe. The engine this manual covers is the "F22B1". Is this what I have?



Also (for those of you who know you have one), based on the above image, this is the factory service manual, right??

 

stuff involving the engine itself shouldn't be a problem to use with your car. but other stuff might be located differently from your car than what's written in the service manual.

 

wtf are you talking about shinbo?

different engines...

 

the manual will also include info about the F22b2 which is very similar to the F22 the 91 accord would have. basically 90-93 and 94-97 are the same except for interior and exterior styling.

 

umm id think important things like torque specs should be looked up in the appropriate manual

depends what the trq specs are for. if they are related to the suspension, braking, tranny or motor they are most likley the same and that's where it's most important anyways. my parents and i have owned 91,92,95 & 96 accords, i know what wtf i'm talking about. the wiring diagrams for the ECU is probably where the correct shop manual would be more useful.

 

oops. i thought the guy said he had a 94 accord. so i matched F22B1 with the 94, sorry. i should've read it thoroughly and saw that he has a 91. my mistake

 

i would have bought the right manual sicne tehre are a lot of parts of that that iwll be very different as far as layoutn, wiring etc.

 

I believe that manual is for European Accords. At least the one I have is. Engines are identical for the 94's but some differences for exterior and interior pieces.

i think the important information except for wiring will be close enough that for someone who can work on cars can figure out the differences and not cause problems. i do hope he didn't pay to much for that manual though. i think i may still have the 1991 honda service manual laying around. i could compare it to my 1995 honda manual.

 

i dont know if id trust it for too much... suspension is probably close to the same, but as far as motor... most of it is probably useful... but anything dealing with wires, ecu, or anything like that i wouldnt even bother comparing. atleast the manual is also for obd-1.

 

Well, no biggie I suppose... I only paid a couple bucks for it from someone who didnt need it anymore... whatever.

That would be a Helm's manual. Should be about 1300 pages.

 

let me guess.. yeah? im right!

 

lets see, i personally own a 90 lx and a 94 ex and the brakes are different, engine compartment configuration is different, interior totally different, umm exterior totally different, suspension and transmission. . . only things that are really the same, so if your looking at the suspension or teh tranny sure you could use it, other than that, get the right one

 

I'm sure the brakes don't vary too much between the two generations.. hell they even bolt up to one another.

 

wow youre right they do, but have you looked at the set-ups next to each other? i betting not, i have, they look nothing alike, just cuz the rotor fits on both hubs means nothing, you have to go through two totally different procedures to get them off. 4th gen requires a slide hammer, 5th gen only a puller. i see a difference there.
