How to tell which distributor I have in my 1991 Honda Civic LX 1.5L

I have a 1991 Honda Civic LX 1.5L. I need to replace the distributor and not sure how to ID the one I have there is no ID markings.It has two(2) plugs one with 2 prongs and the other with 5 prongs The reason why I am replacing the distributor is because the rotars keep breaking seems like the hold down screws breaks so I drilled through the shaft and installed a nut/bolt to secure the rotor on but it still broke (I tried lock tite before I drilled ). Someone told me if I didn't use geniune hond parts that this would keep happening so I am going to replace the distributor and then ho to honda and get a cap and rotor

Best will be to remove the distributor and to use as a sample.

SOURCE: 1991 Honda Civic 1500 idles irregularly, with check engine light.

I think I would suspect the fuel injectors, especially since that is the code you are getting. Fuel injectors clog up, get dirty, stop working the way they should. They can be cleaned (you can remove them and send them to a company that cleans them and makes them like new, or, they can be cleaned in the car by some garages, or, you can get a can of Sea Foam spray and spray it into your throttle housing several times to try to do some cleaning that way, or, you can dump a can of Sea Foam (non-spray) into your gas tank and run it with the fuel through your injectors). You should probably check when you first start the car to see if you are getting any leakage from one or another injector (one or another may look moist or wet if the seals are leaking). You can also do the long screwdriver test (hold the bit of the screwdriver against each injector in turn and listen with your ear against the other end to see if each is clicking regularly). I would try the Sea Foam first.
I hope this is helpful in getting you started on a fix.

2005 Civic LX Codes that are reading are PO340,344, also says misfire Fuel, catlyst Evap,02 Sensor, 02 HTR, EGR what issues am i in for?

Sounds like a distributor or timing issue, a common issue with these cars sometimes. Our Civic LX was giving us the same codes, We replaced the distributor and reset the timing... problem resolved. Not sure about the 2005 Civic year model, the ignition system may have changed with the newer models...

My distributor is out 96 Honda Civic LX. How hard

Why do you think the Distributor is out? It's not hard to replace if you have the Haynes repair manual for your vehicle and understand how to get to TDC and line up everything. But it is very rare that a Distributor goes out. If it is not turning it is more likely that your timing Belt has broken than the distributor going bad.

I dont know where the feul pump is located

i am not sure but it maybe in the gas tank itself try these website to see if you can get any more information www.alldatadiy.com and the other one is www.autozone.com and the other thing you can do is call your local parts store and they will tell you also if they think you are going to get the part for them.

I had a problem on a 91 Civic DX where the drivers auto seat belt wouldnt move and the beeper would not stop.Had a blown seat belt fuse.Replaced the fuse no more problem. The Seat belt fuses are located under the red cover that covers the positive battery terminal. On mine the fuse closest to the font of the car was for the drivers side auto seat belt the one closest to the windshield is for the passager seat belt. They are green and rated at 30A.
