Are you sure it is a 1986 model. What is the production date? Does the engine number match the original HF engine.
I bought an 84 (7-83 production date) CRX 1.5 brand new in Houston texas. Not the HF model. I thought the 84-86 models did not have a cat, but that is old memory. I know my 1.5 did not have a cat or an 02 sensor
There were a lot of changes in 1987, but I thought the 84-86 models of the 1.5 and the HF, which originally was a 1.3 liter engine, did not have cats. I know mine did not have a cat.
The plethora of vacuum hoses indicates the car is carbureted, mine also had a lot of vacuum hoses and had the prechamber venturi in the carb which ran at around 12 to 1 AF ratio, while the main circuit ran at 18 to 1 AF ratio. It may be that your federal version can not be made to pass California emissions. Is it possible to get a waiver?
