When I bought my '90 DX back in '99, the fuel injectors and ignition coil were bad. The exhaust piping was rusted thru too. I replaced all of those items and the car ran strong. Best cheapo car I ever bought.

 

The only problems I had were old plugs/wires and ancient valve cover & spark plug well seals (Mine were breaking off while pulling them out). The seals are a snap to replace (took about 20 minutes total) if you need to but other than that I've not had any problems with my CRX and it has close to 200,000 miles

 

i picked this one up and the only problem it had was the master cylinder needed to be replaced. i fixed that and changed my brake pads on tuesday.
