1992 Acura Integra problems
The Honda Integra (Japanese: ホンダ インテグラ, Hepburn: Honda Integura), sold in North America as the Acura Integra and later the Acura RSX, is an automobile produced by the Japanese company Honda from 1985 until 2006, and then since 2021. It succeeded the Quint as a more luxurious and sport-oriented derivative of the Civic. The Integra was one of the launch models for Acura in the US in 1986 alongside the Acura Legend. Throughout its production run, the Integra was highly regarded for its handling and performance. The 1995–2001 Integra Type R is widely regarded as one of the best front-wheel-drive cars of all time.
The Integra nameplate was revived in 2021 after a 16-year hiatus. The Honda Integra nameplate is used for a restyled Honda Civic sedan for the Chinese market, while the Acura Integra nameplate is used for a Civic-based liftback for North America, replacing the Acura ILX.
First generation (1985)
This vehicle debuted in Japan in February 1985 as the Honda Quint Integra, available only at Honda's Japanese dealership sales channel Honda Verno before going on sale a year later in North America as part of the then-new luxury Acura lineup. The three-door liftback was the only model available originally, with a five-door arriving in October 1985. The four-door saloon bodystyle became available in Japan in the autumn of 1986. Only the liftback versions were sold in the U.S. A 1.6 L DOHC 16-valve four-cylinder engine powered most versions. The engine was the vehicle's most publicized feature, as DOHC, multi-valve engines were not commonplace in entry-level models at the time. In most European countries, only the five-door liftback was offered, as a replacement for the Honda Quint. Typically for European Integras, only the 1.5-liter 85 PS (63 kW; 84 hp) 4 Weber carburetors engine was available. The five-door liftback model was also sold in Australia rebadged as the Rover 416i. Except for in Britain, Honda did not offer the more powerful 1.6 DOHC fuel injection engine (in the UK known as the Integra EX16) in Europe. The ZC engine was also shared with the Honda Concerto, which was sold at newly established Japanese dealership sales channel called Honda Clio, which sold luxury oriented products like the Honda Legend.
In Japan, while the VX- and RX-trimmed four-door (DA2) used the 1.5 L EW5 engine, all other model and trim combinations offered only the DOHC ZC engine, with a carburetor on GS, ZS, and LS trim packages, and PGM-FI on the top level GSi three- and five-door, and the RSi three-door trim package. Vehicles installed with a carburetor earned 15.4 km/L (44 mpg‑imp; 36 mpg‑US) in Japanese Government emissions tests and 115 PS (84.6 kW; 113.4 bhp), and 26 km/L (73 mpg‑imp; 61 mpg‑US) at consistent speeds above 60 km/h (37.3 mph). Vehicles with PGM-FI earned 14.4 km/L (41 mpg‑imp; 34 mpg‑US) in Japanese Government emissions tests with 135 PS (99.3 kW; 133.2 bhp), and 24.5 km/L (69 mpg‑imp; 58 mpg‑US) above 60 km/h (37.3 mph). In Japan, the Integra took the entry level marketing position at Honda Verno, below the sporty Prelude and larger, luxury focused Vigor.
Compared to the US, the European Integra was aimed downmarket and generally lacked equipment, with neither trim level (LX or EX) offering painted bumpers, central locking, power windows, nor air conditioning, even though a small number of fully equipped, left-hand drive fuel-injected Integras were sold in the Netherlands. The Integra EX16 did offer a sunroof, painted bumpers, a rear spoiler and Hi-Fi stereo equipment, but neither electric windows, central locking nor air conditioning were available. This was considered as a drawback to its European competitors such as the Peugeot 309 1.6 injection and the Renault 11 Turbo, that all could be equipped with comprehensive, albeit expensive, equipment. The first Integra never became as popular in Europe as it did in the US, but was praised by most motor magazines for its styling and overall road performance. The styling reflected the popularity of Honda's performance coupe, the Honda Verno sports coupe companion Honda Prelude, with the Integra offering a coupe for added cargo accommodation, and a slightly smaller appearance to the larger Honda Vigor. Largely unencumbered by emissions regulations, British market cars produce 85 PS (63 kW) in the 1.5 and 125 PS (92 kW) in the 1.6-liter EX16.
Being designed as the successor of the Honda Quint, the Integra is closely related to the Civic, although it featured a small list of key upgrades over its smaller stablemate to help merit a price increase over the CRX Si, which was otherwise the sportiest subcompact vehicle being offered by Honda Verno; enlarged 4-wheel disc brakes replaced the small front-disc/rear-drum setup used by the Civic and CRX, suspension calibration was re-worked, better tires were used and a 113-hp DOHC fuel-injected 16-valve engine was used in place of the SOHC unit from the CRX Si. Just like the Prelude and the Vigor of that period, the Integra featured sleek, sporty pop-up headlights, like its Japanese dealership Honda Verno stablemates, with the CRX adopting semi-concealed doors over the headlights. Nearly 228,000 units were sold during the four-year run of the first-generation model, most of them in the United States.
The first-generation Acura Integra came with 1.6-liter DOHC 16-valve 4-cylinder (D16A1) engine which received an update mid-cycle. The 86–87 engine is commonly called the "Browntop" while the 88–89 engines are referred to as the "Blacktop" due to the color of their valve covers. The improvements in the "blacktop" engine included lighter rods, domed pistons for slightly higher compression, and an electric advance distributor (the "browntop" came with a vacuum advance distributor). The overall gain in performance was about 5 hp (3.7 kW) for 118 hp (88.0 kW).
The Integra received a minor facelift for the 1988 model year which featured slightly reshaped indicator lights, an improved climate control system and an update of the instrument clocks. In Europe, the Integra five-door Liftback was discontinued in October 1989 following the launch of the Rover-based Honda Concerto.
This was the only generation to offer 3-, 4-, and 5-door models. Production of the 5-door liftback ceased in 1988.

Common 1992 Acura Integra problems
The Acura Integra, produced from 1986 to 2006, is known for its sporty performance and reliability. However, as with any vehicle, there are common problems that owners of the 1992 Acura Integra have reported.
One of the most common issues with the 1992 Acura Integra is a "no start" problem due to a failed fuel pump relay. This issue can be frustrating for owners, as it may prevent the car from starting altogether. The fuel pump relay is responsible for supplying power to the fuel pump, which in turn supplies fuel to the engine. If the relay fails, the fuel pump will not receive power, and the car will not start.
Another issue that has been reported by owners of the 1992 Acura Integra is a lack of spark to the plugs, which can cause the car to stall or fail to start. This issue can be caused by a variety of factors, including a faulty ignition coil, distributor cap, or spark plugs. In some cases, the issue may be caused by a blown fuse or a wiring problem.
The 1992 Acura Integra is also known to have issues with the timing belt, which can cause the engine to fail if it breaks. The timing belt is responsible for synchronizing the movement of the engine's pistons and valves. If the timing belt breaks, the engine's pistons and valves may collide, causing significant damage to the engine.
In addition to these specific issues, some owners have reported that the 1992 Acura Integra can become a money pit after 20 years of use, with constant part failures that can become expensive to repair. However, other owners have reported that with good maintenance, the car can remain reliable even after 20 years of use.
Overall, the 1992 Acura Integra is a reliable car, but like any vehicle, it is prone to certain issues. Owners should be aware of the potential for a failed fuel pump relay, lack of spark to the plugs, and timing belt failure. With regular maintenance and careful driving, however, these issues can be minimized, and the car can provide reliable transportation for many years.
Is the Acura Integra a reliable car?
We expect the 2024 Integra to have about average reliability when compared to other new cars. This prediction is based on the Acura brand score.
What is the disadvantage of Integra?
Conclusion: The advantages of using Integra in reconstructive surgery are its immediate availability and the availability in large quantities. Disadvantages are the necessity of two operations, risks of infection, the high price and time-consuming dressing changes.
What year was the best Integra?
What year was the best Integra? Car enthusiasts see the 1997 Acura Integra Type R as one of the best sports cars in history because it represented a shift in Acura's thinking of moving away from the luxury market and focusing on fast, sporty cars.

Congratulations on your new 1992 GS Hatchback! It's great to hear that your previous one lasted for 200K miles with no problems at all, and that your friend is still driving it today with over 265K miles on it. These cars are truly stylish tanks that keep going and going, and with only 46K miles on the clock, your new one has many years ahead. The best part is that they only need routine maintenance, never any expensive repairs. ACURA really outdid themselves with this one. As a parent, I highly recommend this car as the best used car value for your kids who are just starting to drive. In my opinion, this is the best overall car I've ever owned, and I've owned Nissans, M-Benz, Ford, Toyotas, etc. None of them compare to this car dollar for dollar value.

I'm so glad to hear that you love this car! It's great to know that you have had experience with Hondas and Acuras in the past, and that this one is the best so far.
Crawford DuBuque 2024-11-25
I love your car! It's amazing that it has 179K miles and has been so reliable with very little maintenance. The styling is still great and it sounds like it runs smoothly on the highway. It's impressive that it still gets 33 MPG and has the power you need when you need it. And taking corners like a dream? That's fantastic!
Thaddeus Bode 2024-11-09
I've owned this car for over 5 years and 100,000 miles. It still runs great with over 180,000 miles on it. It's fun to drive, has good power, handles great, and is extremely reliable and efficient. It's nice to get 30 MPG while still having enough power to be fun. I've never had to do any major repairs. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone.
Edwin Wunsch 2024-10-22
This car has everything a car needs: performance, fuel economy, and reliability. It's almost at 100k and still drives better than my last car, which only had 52k on it. It's very fun to drive because of its awesome acceleration. I would definitely recommend this car to anyone!
