    Honda Civic '89 1.6L - which throttle body?
    About to purchase a replacement fuel injection throttle body. Seller says his available part is for a 1.5L engine, but that it should be O.K. for a 1.6L. Is he correct?

    Not much on them but it should bolt right up and work. 1.5 and a 1.6 ain't much bigger in size. 1.6 and 1.5 is the oil it holds.

    I would check the outer diameter. Chances are if they are the same, the inner diameter is too.

    By the way, the 1.6l/1.5l has nothing to do with the oil, but the volume displaced by the pistons in a revolution.

    Well why then does a 6.0 liter use 6.0 liters of oil, I know its its displacement its just the general oil it can contain. Have a 2.3 litler that uses 2.3 liters of oil.

    My 2.2 Ecotec takes 5.8 quarts of oil, and my 1.8 truck takes 6.

    Hmmm aw well I deal with chevy's mostly. I have a 267 4.4 liter v8 that well takes 4.4 liters of oil, just some do though, the oil pan holds that. Hmmmm that reminds me, need new plugs :rolleyes: and distributor points and wires. I've just dealt with chevys and olds, boy oh boy I wish those olds were still being made :(

    I'm not really sure about 88/89 civics, but I know I can put 90/91 1.6 throttle body on my 90 DX 1.5. *shrug*

    Got the Answer!
    Thanks to all who responded to my plea. I found a Specs sheet that said all '89 Honda Civics had 1.5L engines. The CRX Si, however, had a 1.6L engine, and many books and web sites list the CRXs with Civics (why, I dunno).

    So, I bought a 1.5L throttle body.

    Thanks again,
    Chuck

Engine runs rough - a lack of power but not a hard miss - until engine warms up but car must sit for at least 18 hrs. 170,000 miles. Replaced plugs, cap rotor - no help. Distributor shaft has minor oil leak allowing oil to get inside of cap - maybe related.
