ok i have just bought 1994 civic went to get spark plug wires and only 96 year would work does that mean i have a 96 motor thats been put in also where do i get my info off the motor to get more details thanks.

 

It is possible you have a different motor. Open the hood and look at the front of the motor. On the passenger side of the motor where it connects to the transmission, you should see a stamped letter followed by numbers and possibly another letter and a number. Example. B18A1, D16Z6. Or even a stamp like B18B. Take a look and post back here. We can tell you what years your motors for.

 

ok thanks a lot its B508749 thne these were off the head 708230285
hard to tell think it starts with the B on the right side of head has 97 on it does it mean its 97?it has D16y8 on it then other nums. below it

 

wrong numbers..... Let me look up a pic and I will try and post it.

 

lower left of this pic shows a flat spot on the engine block. You will see on this one its a B18C and then a bunch of numbers under it. The upper one is the engine code.

 

If the head is a d16y8, I think that is out of a 96-99 dx.

 

ok the top stamp is D16Y8 that the right ones???what about the 97 stamp on the driver side

 

You got it. That is an obd2 96-99 civic motor if I am correct.

 

Is 96-99 models all have the same parts? Are they all universal?

 

Some parts are the same and some are different. Some models came with diffenerent engines, trim packages, etc. Let say your looking for a front fender for a 2 door dx. All 2 door fenders in these years will work. A 4 dr. fender wont. All dx's are the same for those years. Understand or did I just do a great job of creating more confusion?

 

The D16Y8 is a 1996-2000 Honda Civic EX motor. You have SOHC VTEC

 

i need A starter should i get on for say 96 ex or dx?

 

EX

ok before i realized it wasnt a 94 motor i put on a 94dx fuel filter and i am wondering if i should have gotten a 97 filter for an ex because there not the same and not doing as good on gas

 

No issues.

 

need to know since my 94 civic has 97 ex motor would the fuse diagram be different?
