FAQQuestions about the CRX manual

Which CRX years does this manual cover?

Every year from 1988 to 1991 — 4 separate manuals, one per model year. Pick your year in the selector; the manual you receive is matched to that exact year, engine and trim.

Is this the OEM Honda CRX manual or an aftermarket guide?

The OEM version. It carries the procedures, specifications, torque values and wiring diagrams Honda published for the CRX, organized by system — not a condensed aftermarket summary.

Does it include CRX wiring diagrams?

Yes. Full wiring diagrams are part of every CRX manual, alongside repair procedures, specifications and diagnostic information.

Does the manual cover CRX recalls?

6 recalls are on federal record across the 1988–1991 CRX, listed by year below. The manual carries the manufacturer's diagnostic and repair procedures behind the systems involved; the recall repairs themselves are performed free by Honda dealers.

Why do some CRX years cost more?

Every CRX year is $29.99.

Is this a subscription?

No. One payment, and the manual is yours to keep — unlike per-vehicle subscriptions that renew every year.

How do I get the manual after purchase?

It is a digital manual — nothing ships. Access details arrive by email right after checkout, and you can use it on any device.
