On the 1990-1993 Acura Integra, uS-market 1990-1993 Integras used a motorized passive shoulder belt that travels on a track from the A-pillar to the B-pillar.
A common failure has the auto belt stuck in the down/forward position with the warning light staying on; pulling it back manually doesn't help because once the door is opened and closed it goes back down but won't return.
Symptoms include intermittent retraction — sometimes 100%, sometimes 0%, sometimes stopping partway — accompanied by a constant error beep indicating a seatbelt malfunction.
Failure modes include blown 30A passive-motor fuses, broken door-jamb switches, worn track gears, and seized motors.
Common Symptoms
Shoulder belt stuck in forward (door) position
Belt fails to return when door closes
Constant warning chime/beep
Seat belt warning light stays on
Motor audibly hums but belt doesn't move
Belt retracts only intermittently
How to Fix
The seat-belt fuses are under the hood on the passenger-side shock tower — the fuse-box cover labels them; pull and inspect the passive motor L and R fuses (30A each) first.
Manually unstick the belt by locating the rod with a hex-head fitting on the motor, then use a screwdriver/Allen key to drive the seat-belt motor manually to the rear position before closing the door.
American Acura/Honda has a policy of offering a lifetime warranty on the functional components of their seat belts — as long as the vehicle is an American-market car, has not been in a collision, and the belt assembly has not been modified, American Acura will fix it at their cost; if the dealer refuses, phone Acura Client Relations at (800) 382-2238.
Note that Honda Canada does not honor this policy.
Owner tips & cautions
TipCall Acura Client Relations at (800) 382-2238 if a dealer refuses warranty repair — US-market belts have a lifetime functional warranty regardless of mileage or owner.
WarningDo NOT disable the passive belt and rely only on the lap belt — the lap-only belt was never intended as a standalone restraint and offers poor upper-body protection.

On the 1990-1993 Acura Integra,
The PGM-FI Main Relay is a critical electronic switch that sends power to the fuel pump and engine computer (ECU); when you turn the key it clicks on, allowing the pump to build pressure and the computer to manage the engine — without a working main relay the engine won't get fuel or the electronic commands it needs to run.
The main relay is a known weak point on DA-chassis Integras — over many years the solder joints inside the relay crack from heat and vibration, and the problem is often worse on hot days or after the car has been running, as heat causes the cracked joints to expand and lose connection.
Symptoms include crank-but-no-start after the car sits in the sun, intermittent stalling, and the fuel pump failing to prime audibly when the key is turned to ON.
Common Symptoms
Engine cranks but won't start when hot
No fuel pump prime sound at key-on
Intermittent stalling while driving
Restarts fine after cooling down
Check engine light may not flash codes if relay is dead
How to Fix
Replacing the main relay is one of the easiest repairs on the Integra; it is located under the driver's-side dash, near the hood release lever and to the right of the parking brake pedal — unbolt the mounting bracket (10mm), unplug the harness, and plug in the new relay.
Use a quality replacement — the DA-chassis OEM part number is typically 39400-PM6-003 (verify with your VIN at an Acura dealer or parts store, as several supersessions exist). Reputable aftermarket cross-references include Standard Motor Products RY-passenger-style relays, Beck/Arnley, and Denso. Expect to pay $25-$80 for the part and avoid the cheapest generic relays — reliability matters.
Resoldering the cracked joints on the existing relay's circuit board has been done successfully by many owners, but requires skill with a soldering iron and may not be permanent — a new aftermarket relay is the more reliable repair.
Owner tips & cautions
TipCarry a spare main relay in the glove box — they're small and a roadside swap can save a tow.
TipDiagnose first: turn key to ON and listen for the 2-second fuel pump prime. No prime + no audible relay click = main relay.

On the 1990-2001 Acura Integra, the ignition distributor on 1990-2001 Integras (and all Honda B-series engines of the era) sits at the rear of the head and is driven directly off the exhaust cam. Inside the distributor housing, an oil seal separates the cam-driven shaft from the cap/rotor/electrical assembly above it. When this seal hardens with age and heat cycling, engine oil under pressure leaks past the shaft, fills the cap area, and coats the rotor and contacts. Result: misfires, hard starts, hesitation, stalling at idle, and sometimes a check-engine light for misfire codes. The shaft seal CAN technically be replaced internally, but it is difficult and many shops will not attempt it — they replace the whole distributor instead because reused housings often re-leak quickly. Cleaning the cap helps for a few weeks and then symptoms return.
Oil pooling visibly inside the distributor cap when removed
Engine misfires intermittently, especially under load or after warm-up
Stalling at idle once the engine is hot
Hard start when warm (oil-fouled rotor won't conduct)
Check engine light with P0301-P0304 misfire codes
Briefly improves after distributor cleaning, returns within weeks
How to Fix
Replace the complete distributor. OEM Honda distributors are pricey ($350-500+) but reliable; aftermarket units from Cardone, A1 Cardone, or Spectra Premium are $80-150 and work fine for non-track use. While the distributor is out, also replace the cap, rotor, and ignition wires — they're cheap and replacing them at the same time saves a labor cycle. After install, time the engine to factory spec (16°±2° BTDC at idle with timing-adjust connector unplugged). Do NOT just clean the cap and call it done — the oil keeps coming and you'll be back in 6 weeks. If you're keeping the car long-term, the Honda OEM distributor outlasts aftermarket 2:1.
Owner tips & cautions
TipReplace the cap, rotor, and ignition wires at the same time as the distributor. They're cheap and you're already in there — saves a future labor cycle.
WarningDo NOT just clean the cap and call it fixed. The internal oil leak keeps coming. Cleaning buys you 4-6 weeks before symptoms return.
On the 1990-1993 Acura Integra, the Integra's ignition system uses a discrete ignitor module (also called ignition control module, or ICM) mounted inside the distributor cap. The module triggers the coil and is a known failure point on 1990-2001 Integras — replacement units are stocked by most major parts retailers (Beck Arnley, Delphi, Standard Motor Products). Failure presents as a no-spark condition: engine cranks normally but will not start, or starts intermittently. Often happens after the engine reaches operating temperature, then the car will not restart until the module cools — though owners report the failure mode varies. NOTE: 1990-1993 Integras use the OBD-0 diagnostic system, which produces numeric flash codes (e.g. code 15 for ignition) rather than the OBD-II P-codes used from 1996+. The original Honda heat sink part #30121-PM5-A02 mentioned in some installation guides is now discontinued/out of production.
Common Symptoms
Engine cranks but won't start (no spark to coil)
Intermittent no-start, especially when hot
Sudden stall while driving with no warning
Check engine light with P0300-series misfire codes
Engine starts, runs briefly, then dies
Restart works after the car cools for 30-60 minutes
How to Fix
Test the ignitor before replacing — a multimeter check at the coil primary terminals while cranking will confirm whether the module is sending pulse to the coil. If no pulse: replace. OEM Honda module $80-150, aftermarket (Beck Arnley, Delphi) $30-80. The module sits inside the distributor cap; replacement requires removing the cap and rotor, unscrewing 2 mounting screws, and transferring the heat sink if present (Civic/Integra units may require heat sink #30121-PM5-A02 for correct fitment). Inspect the inside of the distributor cap and rotor for moisture or corrosion while you're in there — a cracked cap allows water in and causes premature module failure on the replacement. Replace cap + rotor at the same time as a preventive measure.
Owner tips & cautions
TipReplace the distributor cap and rotor at the same time. A cracked cap lets in moisture that fails the module again within months. Both parts are under $50 combined.
TipTest before replacing. Use a multimeter on the coil primary terminals while cranking — if the module is pulsing the coil, the no-start is somewhere else (often the main relay).
On the 1990-1993 Acura Integra,
A very common problem on 90-93 Integras where, after many years, the foam seals beneath the windshield cowl no longer keep water out and it ends up on the passenger floor after passing through the blower motor and rusting it out.
The drainage paths beneath the cowl are very shallow and are easily clogged with accumulated dust and leaf matter; one drainage path runs right over the hole where the blower sucks in air, so if there is a blockage downstream rainwater pours right into the blower assembly.
Drivers see soaked passenger carpet, foggy windshield, musty smell, and eventually a dead blower motor or resistor.
Common Symptoms
Wet passenger-side floor mat after rain
Water sprays from vents when blower is turned on
Musty/mildew interior smell
Foggy windshield that won't clear
Blower motor dead or noisy
Rusted blower motor housing
How to Fix
Order eight of Honda part number 91608-SJ6-003 (the clear grommet/seal pieces) from a Honda or Acura dealer — they are inexpensive at roughly $2.50 each.
Remove the wiper arms (14mm) and the black plastic cowl, clear out all leaf debris from the drainage channels, then replace the old foam strip with new urethane weatherstripping and reinstall with the new grommets.
Remove the wipers, pop the 7-8 pins, undo the pins along the perimeter under the hood, clean out the drainage paths, scrape out the old weather stripping, and replace with 1/4" wide, 1/2" thick urethane weather stripping for a permanent fix.
If the blower motor or resistor has already corroded, replace those at the same time.
Owner tips & cautions
TipOrder 8x Honda P/N 91608-SJ6-003 grommets before starting — they're cheap (~$2.50 each) and you'll destroy the originals on removal.
WarningIf the blower has been getting wet for a while, plan on also replacing the blower motor and the resistor — water corrodes both.

On the 1990-1993 Acura Integra,
Any Integra that still has the rear wheel arch protectors is already starting to rust, even if not visible on the outside — pulling a protector typically reveals wet mud trapped against the inner arch lip with rust eating the metal underneath.
This is one of the most common problems on 90's Hondas; it happens on Integras, Civics and Preludes, and the rust bubbles up around the bumper bolt area requiring it to be ground or cut out.
Owners in salt-belt and humid regions see bubbling paint at the rear wheel arch lip, holes through rocker panels, and structural rust that fails safety inspection.
All G2 Integras came with rear wheel arch protectors — pull them off as preventive maintenance; Acura wanted around $40-$50 each for them new.
For early rust, cut out affected metal with at least one inch of clean margin, treat the inner frame with a rust converter such as POR-15, and weld in patch panels (92-95 Civic patch panels can be modified to fit).
Proper repair is to replace the complete rear quarter — body shop estimates run around $4000 for both sides with paint; DIY gutting/stripping can drop it closer to $2000-$3500.
Aftermarket wheel arch and quarter patch panels are available from Mill Supply and other restoration vendors.
Owner tips & cautions
TipRemove the plastic rear wheel-arch protectors and clean out trapped mud as soon as you buy the car — that's where the rust starts.
WarningBondo-over is cosmetic only — structural rust on rockers will fail safety inspection and continue to spread.

On the 1990-1993 Acura Integra,
The CV joints are lubricated with grease and sealed inside rubber boots that hold the grease in and keep dirt out; over time the boots crack or tear, grease escapes and dirt enters the joint causing it to break down, and the joint develops excessive play in its bearings, producing a repetitive clicking sound when accelerating through a curve.
Clicking or popping noise when turning is the classic sign of a worn outer CV joint, most obvious during sharp low-speed turns like in a parking lot; vibrations while accelerating and dark heavy grease splattered on the inner edge of the tire are additional symptoms.
Common on the B18A1-powered DA chassis where the outer boots crack with age and especially after donuts in reverse or hard cornering.
Common Symptoms
Clicking or popping when turning at low speed
Grease splattered on inner wheel and suspension
Clunk on acceleration or shifting into gear
Vibration at highway speed
Torn or cracked outer boot visible at full lock
How to Fix
If the boot has just torn and no elements got into the joint, regreasing and rebooting can work — a $10 boot kit vs. a $60 replacement axle is the tradeoff.
Reman axles run around $50 each and boot kits about $25 — AutoZone and similar carry both for the 1992 Integra 1.8L DOHC.
Pack outer CV joint boot with molybdenum disulfide grease, lube the spider and inside bore of rollers, ensure rollers are aligned with marks made at disassembly and install with the high side of rollers facing outward.
Use new boot clamps (low-profile metal bands included in kit). Most owners simply swap the full reman half-shaft for under $100/side — quicker than rebooting. Always replace the axle nut and use a new transaxle retaining ring.
Owner tips & cautions
TipInspect both outer boots at every oil change — catching a tear early lets you reboot for $25 instead of replacing the axle.

On the 1990-1993 Acura Integra,
The wheel bearings on the 1990-1993 Acura Integra (DA chassis, second generation) are critical parts located inside the wheel hub assembly — for the DA-generation Integra these are press-in style bearings pressed into the steering knuckle in the front and the hub/spindle in the rear, and they support the full weight of the car while it's in motion.
When a wheel bearing starts to go bad it usually gives warning signs; ignoring them can lead to serious problems including the wheel separating from the car, and the most common sign is a humming, rumbling, or grinding sound that gets louder with speed.
The hum is often hard to localize from inside the cabin — passengers in the back may each think it's on their side — but it typically lessens when steering loads the bad bearing's opposite side (e.g., turning right unloads the left side, so if noise decreases when turning right, the left bearing is likely the culprit).
Common Symptoms
Humming or rumbling noise that increases with speed
Noise changes pitch or volume when turning
Vibration through floor at highway speed
Slight wheel play when rocked on jack stands
Uneven inner tire wear
How to Fix
This is an advanced DIY job. Some owners replace the rear as a complete pre-pressed hub assembly (commonly $80-$120 from aftermarket suppliers), which avoids press work; others source just the bearing/race and press it into the spindle/knuckle using a hydraulic shop press (or have a machine shop do it). Front bearings on the DA always require pressing into the knuckle.
Quality replacement brands include SKF, Timken, FAG, Koyo and NSK (the latter two are often OEM suppliers to Honda).
Rear bearings are a bit more expensive but easier to access than the fronts.
Budget $40-$120 per bearing/assembly plus press/labor; total shop cost typically $200-$450 per corner.
Owner tips & cautions
TipDiagnose by steering side-to-side at highway speed: if the hum lessens when steering right, the bad bearing is on the left (unloaded) side, and vice versa.
TipFor the rear, you can often buy a complete pre-assembled hub/bearing unit for roughly $80-$120, which avoids needing access to a hydraulic press.

On the 1990-2001 Acura Integra, all DA and DC Integras (and all Honda B-series transverse cars) use four hydraulic engine mounts: front, rear, passenger-side (the 'side mount'), and driver-side (the transmission mount). The rear and front mounts use a fluid-filled rubber bushing that wears out — typically the rear mount goes first by 100,000 miles, the passenger-side side mount second. Failure signs: clunk when shifting in or out of gear (especially on automatics), vibration at idle that disappears when you press the brake or shift to neutral, and a 'wheel hop' feeling under hard acceleration. Skipping motor mount replacement on a manual Integra accelerates wear on the half-shafts, transmission shift forks, and the trans itself, because the engine is moving around in the bay.
Common Symptoms
Clunk or thud when shifting between Drive and Reverse (auto)
Clunk on engagement of 1st gear from stop (manual)
Vibration at idle that subsides when brake is pressed or trans is in Neutral
Wheel hop or chassis shudder under hard launches
Visible engine rock when revved in neutral
Visible cracks, separation, or fluid leakage on the mount itself
How to Fix
Replace mounts one at a time as they fail, not all four preemptively (the front and side mounts can last 200k+). Diagnose by having a helper rev the engine in neutral while you look — a healthy mount holds the engine still; a dead one lets the engine rock 1-2 inches. Common pattern: rear mount + passenger-side mount are the first two to need replacement, and both are visible from above without lifting. Aftermarket options range from cheap rubber ($30 each) to Energy Suspension polyurethane ($60-100, transmits more vibration but lasts forever) to Innovative Mounts billet ($100-200, used for tracked cars). For a daily-driver Integra, OEM Honda rubber or Cardone is the right balance. Total cost replacing rear + side: $80-300 in parts, 2-3 hours of labor.
Owner tips & cautions
TipDiagnose before buying parts. Have a helper rev in neutral while you watch from the side — a healthy mount holds the engine still, a dead one lets it rock 1-2 inches. Replace only the dead ones.
WarningEnergy Suspension polyurethane mounts ($60-100) last forever but transmit much more vibration into the cabin. Great for track cars, terrible for daily-drivers — your steering wheel and shifter will buzz at idle.
