Fuel System Overview

This section provides a general overview of the fuel system in the 1994-2001 Acura Integra, including its components and functionality. Understanding the fuel system is essential for proper maintenance and troubleshooting.

General Description
  • The fuel system consists of a fuel tank, fuel pump, fuel filter, and fuel injectors.
  • The system is designed to deliver fuel from the tank to the engine's combustion chamber.
  • The fuel pump is located inside the fuel tank for efficient fuel delivery.
  • The fuel filter is designed to remove impurities from the fuel before it reaches the engine.
Fuel Injection System
  • The Integra features a multi-point fuel injection system for precise fuel delivery.
  • Fuel injectors spray fuel into the intake manifold, where it mixes with air before entering the cylinders.
  • The fuel injection system is controlled by the Engine Control Module (ECM).
  • The ECM monitors various sensors to ensure optimal fuel delivery under all driving conditions.

Fuel Requirements

This section outlines the recommended fuel type, octane rating, and other fuel-related specifications for the 1994-2001 Acura Integra. Adhering to these guidelines ensures optimal performance and fuel efficiency.

Recommended Fuel Type
  • The Acura Integra requires unleaded gasoline for all model years.
  • Using leaded gasoline can damage the catalytic converter and other emissions control components.
  • The use of oxygenated fuels (up to 10% ethanol) is acceptable.
  • Avoid using fuels with methanol, as they can damage fuel system components.
Fuel Octane Rating
  • The recommended fuel octane rating is 91 or higher for all model years.
  • Using lower-octane fuel can result in engine knock or pinging, which can damage the engine over time.
  • Premium fuel is required for optimal performance, especially in vehicles equipped with the VTEC system.

  • The fuel pump is controlled by the ECM and includes a built-in fuel pressure regulator.
  • The fuel pump relay is located in the under-hood fuse box.
Fuel Filter
  • The fuel filter is located along the fuel line, typically near the fuel tank.
  • The fuel filter should be replaced every 15,000 to 30,000 miles to ensure proper fuel flow.
  • A clogged fuel filter can cause poor engine performance, decreased fuel efficiency, and difficulty starting the engine.

Maintenance and Troubleshooting

This section provides maintenance schedules and troubleshooting tips for the fuel system of the 1994-2001 Acura Integra. Regular maintenance is essential to ensure the longevity and performance of the vehicle.
