1994 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 1994 Acura Integra problems
The Acura Integra 1994 is a popular choice among car enthusiasts due to its performance and affordability. However, like any other vehicle, it is prone to certain common problems.
One of the most frequently reported issues is a stiff or hard-to-shift transmission. This problem can be caused by several factors, including low transmission fluid levels, seized linkage, or worn-out synchronizers. To address this issue, it is recommended to top off the transmission fluid and check the linkage for any signs of seizure. If the problem persists, it may be necessary to replace the synchronizers or the entire transmission.
Another common problem with the Acura Integra 1994 is a ticking sound from the engine. This issue is often attributed to the LMA (Lash Adjuster) and is prevalent in many Integras. Although it is not a critical issue, it can be annoying and may require a valve adjustment or replacement of the LMA.
Additionally, the Acura Integra 1994 is known for having issues with its radiator and water pump. These components tend to fail over time, and it is recommended to check their condition regularly. If the radiator or water pump is found to be faulty, it should be replaced promptly to prevent engine overheating and potential damage.
Other common problems with the Acura Integra 1994 include window rattles, leaking tail light gaskets, ABS leaks, oil leaks around cam seals, and exhaust rattles. These issues can be addressed by cleaning the window tracks, replacing the tail light gaskets, replacing the ABS O-ring, replacing the cam seals, and removing or bending heat shields.
In summary, the Acura Integra 1994 is a reliable vehicle, but it is prone to certain common problems, such as transmission issues, engine ticking, and component failures. Regular maintenance and inspections can help prevent these issues and ensure the vehicle's longevity.

VISIBILITY/WIPER PROBLEM
- Date Of Incident: 2016-09-01
- VIN: JH4DC4449RS
- Components: VISIBILITY/WIPER
- Summary: A REP AT THE IIHS SUGGESTED THAT I TAKE THIS UP WITH YOU. I HAVE FOUND IT REALLY DIFFICULT TO COPE WITH THE LED HEADLIGHTS IN ONCOMING CARS. I REALLY CAN'T UNDERSTAND HOW THEIR USE WAS APPROVED. SURELY THE NEED TO SEE OBSTACLES MUST BE BALANCED WITH THE NEED NOT TO BLIND OTHER DRIVERS. MY CAR IS LOW SLUNG, AND MY EYES TAKE A DIRECT HIT FROM ONCOMING HEADLIGHTS OF HIGHER WHEELBASE VEHICLES, YET HALOGEN HEADLIGHTS NEVER BOTHER ME. I CAN FIELD THEM WITHOUT A FEELING OF RETINAL BURN. NOT SO LEDS. WHEN THE NEWER 'SNOB CARS' WITH THE PAIN-INDUCING LED LIGHTS COME TOWARDS ME, I CAN'T HELP BUT THINK THAT ALLOWING THEM ON THE ROAD IS A MISTAKE. IT SMACKS OF PANDERING TO MARKETEERS, OR WORSE SHEER LAZINESS AND DISTRACTION ON THE PART OF REGULATORS. I APPRECIATE THAT SOME NEWER CARS HAVE WINDSHIELDS WITH AN ANTI-GLARE LAYER IN THEM. THAT IS FINE FOR THOSE DRIVERS, BUT, WHAT ABOUT THE REST OF US ? THE REGULATORY RESPONSIBILITY IN THIS AREA ISN'T BEING MET. THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD REQUIRE SOME SORT OF DIFFUSING COVER ON THOSE RIDICULOUS ARRAYS OF BLINDING BULBS, SO AS TO SOFTEN THEIR WEAPONIZED GLARE.ITS ONLY COMMON SENSE. RELATED TO THIS CONCERN IS MY EXPERIENCE WITH NEW WINDSHIELD WIPERS SCRATCHING MY WINDSHIELD. NEW WIPERS NEVER USED TO DO THIS.AGAIN, SOME REGULATORY PERSON DROPPED THE BALL. ITS A NO-BRAINER THAT NEW WINDSHIELD WIPERS SHOULD NOT ABRADE THE WINDSHIELD THEY ARE MEANT TO KEEP CLEAN AND CLEAR. ONE WOULD HOPE THAT GOES WITHOUT SAYING. SOMEONE IN AUTHORITY HAS TO START PAYING ATTENTION, THINKING ABOUT THEIR JOB, BEFORE THE COUNTRY GOES COMPLETELY TO HELL FOR AVOIDABLE REASONS. IF YOU AREN'T THE CORRECT BODY FOR MY INQUIRY/LAMENT, CAN YOU POINT ME TO THE RIGHT ONE ? THANKS FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION I HOPE YOU GIVE TO MY NOTE.

We've owned this Integra since '95 and it has never let us down. It's a truly practical and dependable 4-door car. The interior has adequate space for my family, with two kids in the back. We've had no unexpected repair issues, just keep the oil changed every 3k and it will keep running.

The LS is a great car for the money, even though it may not be the fastest. However, if I had a little more money, I would have gone for a GS-R instead.

From climbing steep mountains to go skiing to formal dinners where I valeted next to Rolls Royce's to picking top execs up from the airport, this car has been a reliable companion. Although I have had to replace the radiator twice and the automatic transmission has slipped since the day I bought it, it has still managed to get me where I need to go. While it can be a bit noisy when accelerating around corners, it has served me well. It's worth noting that parallel parking can be a bit tricky due to poor visibility, but overall, I have enjoyed my time with this car.

I've used this car many times to pick up furniture and I always get the same look as I pull up to load it. But every time, whether it's a desk, hutch, or even a baby crib, it fits perfectly with the rear seats folded down. And when I take the car for a ride, it's a sweet ride. I highly recommend buying the manual transmission - it's better.

I bought this car brand new 15 years ago and I have loved it. It's a shame they don't make Integras anymore, otherwise I would definitely buy another one. These cars are amazing!
