Does a 1992 Honda Civic have a timing chain or timing belt and do you have to take out the motor to fix it?

All hondas have timing belts

Honda cars have always used timing belts, but it looks like your model has a chain.

You should remove the Crankshaft Pulley, because you have to remove the Timing Belt Cover to remove the belt, adjust tension, and line up the Timing Marks.

Here is the Service Guide for the Timing Belt on your 1994 Honda Civic 1.5l SOHC Engine:

It has a timing belt. Recommended to be replace every 105,000 miles, timing belt also run's your water pump good idea to also replace, your engine is also an INTERFERENCE ENGINE which will damage your cylinder head valve's if timing belt goes bad. Hope this was very helpful.

Code P1361 = Intermittent Interruption In TDC 1 Sensor Circuit

Turns out Top Dead Center (TDC) sensor was bad. Yours is too.

This sensor in located behind the timing chain cover on my 2001 civic. You have to take the cover off to get to it. Honda dealer wanted $360 in labor to change the sensor. Because it was in the same the location Honda would have changed my timing chain for no extra labor charge. So I went to the Honda dealer and got the sensor ($56) and went to the auto parts store and got a timing chain, water pump, and new belts. Local mechanic changed all these parts for $160 in labor (others wanted $230). $130 for the sensor and timing chain and $30 more for the pump. I probably could have hacked that timing chain cover off myself but that is what thought would happen. A hack job. And it was time for a new chain anyway. 92 plus degrees outside and the civic is running fine.

Good luck (remember rated this post).

buy using a timing gun, any mechanic shop can do it for barley nothing. If you start having problems running correctly you might consider to have the timing belt check and replace, you dont want the timing belt to break or jump time, being 92' it may not ever have the timing belt replace. if it break or jump time bad, the chance you take is bent valves. timing belt should be replace every 75-100 k miles

YOUR vehicle has a" timing belt," and tensioner,water pump. water pump is t-belt driven. valve lash is .20m intake .25mm exhaust
