hello, i am from lebanon, i have a 1993 del sol with a stock d16a9 p29 obd1 ecu from factory. i was corrected that the del sol never came with the d16a9 but im gonna prove you wrong. i started searching for local lebanese del sols and found 5 people have the d16a9 and some of them had the name zc on the block instead of d16a9. all of them they say that they or the original owner bought the car literally inside the ship 🛳️. well we could be wrong till now because it could be swapped outside of lebanon. ok now i started searching for del sols outside both the us and Lebanon. i found there so much del sols in portugal... that have the d16a9. coincidence? no. i searched my vin number on vindecoderz.com (jhmeh61700s10....) and other guys vin numbers and found that the d16a9 is mentioned in there. i know that when they



make the car inside factory, they make the vin number with it and save it in the websites. so its not a game or something but it is the best proof that i have. ill post screenshots and please correct me. i like it.

 

I'm in Uruguay, South America and abiut 10 Del Sol were imported here. All wtth D16A9 engines. Also in Argentina the cars have this engine. Regards

 

The fact that the VIN indicates a D16A9 is already a serious argument. If you further check the lookup window sticker with vin at https://carfast.express/en/window_sticker you can see the factory trim, market, and engine type. This will settle the dispute if the data matches for several cars from different countries. It's entirely possible that Del Sols with D16A9s did exist, just not in the US.
