What engine or engines may fit into a 1994 civic del sol?

Possible crank angle sensor or coil inside the distributor heating up. Distributor replacement may be required.

older hondas well known for distributer leaks,

test your fuel pump pull pipe off and crank the engine

Any Honda Civic or Honda Del Sol 1.6 liter, 1992-1995.

Assuming you have a 1500. You can fit a d series, D16a1 or D16y8 (120-130bhp), a B16 (150) a B16a (JDM 160), a B18 from a Integra Tpre R (187), a K20 from a RSX, or a H22 from a Prelude. Most engines need a little work and wiring harnesses, but check it out thoroughly online on forums to udnerstand what is involved.

My personal choice would be a B16 or B18, light engines that are bulletproof.

Go for it :)

change or check the plugs
