    I recently purchased a Honda Acty from an individual. He said it was a 1997 model but the seatbelt says manufactured in 1994. The ID # I found on the passenger side firewall was V - HA4 2213011. THere was a tag on the motor that read Z9 - 5217343....E07A. I am searching for an alternator for the vehicle so need as much info as possible. Any info about this vehicle would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

    This article incorporates information from the equivalent article on the Japanese Wikipedia.
    The E07A is a three-cylinder gasoline engine developed and manufactured by Honda, with a total displacement of 656 cc. The engine is intended for light-vehicle applications. The E05A and E07A were replaced by the Honda P engine.

    The E07A is based on the Honda EH Engine, a SOHC 2-cylinder engine. Like the Honda D engine, it rotates anti-clockwise from the timing belt side. The engine was available with either a computer-controlled variable venturi-type side draft carburetor (PGM-CARB) or a multi-point fuel-injected (PGM-FI) version.

    Utilizing a cross-flow design, the intake and exhaust valves are opened and closed by the rocker arm driven by a camshaft timing belt. The two intake and two exhaust valves are positioned on either side of the spark plug which is mounted on the top center of the combustion chamber. The cylinder block and cylinder bore are made of die-cast aluminum, as are the valve covers and oil pan.

    Early Japanese emissions requirements for passenger automobiles required that exhaust gas purification be accomplished by means of a three-way catalyst. The requirement was later amended to include commercial vehicles as well.

    E07A (MTREC)
    In order to extract higher horsepower from a naturally aspirated engine, Honda modified the E07A with a MTREC (Multi Throttle Responsive Engine Control) system, placing individual throttle-bodies on each of the three cylinders.

    The system modified the air-fuel ratio of individual cylinders based on RPM to give sharper throttle response while also maintaining a stable idle.

    HistoryThe first Acty trucks were introduced July 27, 1977, and replaced several Kei trucks Honda had previously offered, such as the (Japanese: Honda TN360) and the Honda T360. September 1, 1975, the Japanese Government revised the rules on Road Trucking Vehicle Law that regulated the dimensions and engine size of vehicles in this class. As a result, the first Acty trucks and vans were available with a "midship" mounted 545 cc 2-cylinder SOHC water-cooled engine, known as the EH engine, which produced 28 PS (20.6 kW; 27.6 bhp) at 5,500 rpm and 4.2 kg·m (41 N·m; 30 lb·ft) at 4,000 rpm. The van was introduced November 1979. They are designed to be economical, agile work vehicles, and generally lack luxury options, although air conditioning and power steering are available along with various trim, decoration, and customization options. The first generation was produced from 1977 to 1988 (model series TA,TB,TC,VD,VH), the second generation's years were 1988-1999 (model series HA1, HA2, HH1, HH2 with the EN05A engine; HA3, HA4, HA5, HH3, HH4 with the EN07A engine) and the third generation's years were 1999-2009(model series HA6, HA7, HH5, HH6 with EN07Z engine) appeared May 28, 1999 and the van is still in production. The fourth generation was introduced at the 41st Tokyo Motor Show in 2009 on December 17, showing the HA8 series and continuing to use the E07Z engine.

    An upper trim level of the Acty was introduced February 1, 1981, called the (Japanese: Honda Street) and was produced for two generations of the Acty van until 1999 when the Honda Vamos name was reintroduced as a replacement trim level for the Street on a shared platform of the Acty van. The second generation engine saw the introduction of the Honda E07A engine and an additional cylinder was added, making it a 660 cc 3-cylinder with SOHC adding fuel injection in 1996. This engine produced 38 PS (27.9 kW; 37.5 bhp) at 5,300 rpm, and 5.5 kg·m (54 N·m; 40 lb·ft) at 4,500 rpm.

    Starting with model year 1985, the Acty/Street was exclusive to Japanese dealerships established for small and commercial vehicles, called Honda Primo.

    On September 30, 1996, the Japanese Government amended the Enforcement Regulations Vehicle Law, Ministerial Ordinance No. 53, which addressed safety requirements for front passengers, but the dimensions regulations didn't change, so Honda pushed the driving position back while keeping the engine in its traditional location underneath the vehicle. The engine was upgraded to the current 660 cc 12-valve straight-3 E07Z gasoline engine making 53 PS (39.0 kW; 52.3 bhp) at 7,000 rpm and 6.2 kg·m (61 N·m; 45 lb·ft) at 4,000 rpm (4WD models). Currently, the maximum payload is 200 kg (440.9 lb).

    The base price of the pickup model is ¥777,000 (approximately $7,920 USD), with the van starting at ¥1,060,500 (approximately $10,810 USD) as of December 2008. The base model is mid-engine, rear drive. Four-wheel drive is available as an option on all vans, and all but one model of pickup truck, making the Acty one of a handful of mid-engine, AWD vehicles that are not designed as supercars
    Australian versions As a bit of an oddity, the Acty was sold during 1982 in Australia, but was made unavailable inside of Sydney due to concerns by Honda that the vehicle was under-powered for the hilly terrain.

    Good info. I found some more info:
    Decoding VIN (All Models 1983+)
    Chassis Number (1973-1980)
    ====================


    1st and 2nd Characters: Car Line & Engine - Chassis Code

    3rd Character: Body Type & Transmission
    A = 2 Door, 4 Speed Manual
    B = 2 Door, 2 Speed Automatic
    C = 3 Door, 4 Speed Manual
    D = 3 Door, 2 Speed Automatic
    E = 3 Door, 5 Speed Manual
    F = 2 Door, 5 Speed Manual
    G = 3 Door LX, 2 Speed Automatic
    H = 3 Door LX, 5 Speed Manual
    J = 4 Door, 5 Speed Manual
    K = 4 Door, 2 Speed Automatic

    4th Character: Generation Year of Model
    1 = First
    2 = Second
    3 = Third
    4 = Fourth
    5 = Fifth
    6 = Sixth
    7 = Seventh

    5th through 10th Characters: Serial Number
    000001+



    Vehicle Identification Number (VIN, 1981+)
    ====================


    The first three characters uniquely identify the manufacturer of the vehicle using the World Manufacturer Identifier (WMI) code. There are 2 methods for determining the WMI.

    WMI Method 1:

    1st Character: Country of Origin
    A = South Africa, Ivory Coast
    B = Angola, Kenya, Tanzania
    C = Benin, Madagascar, Tunisia
    D = Egypt, Morocco, Zambia
    E = Ethiopia, Mozambique
    F = Ghana, Nigeria
    J = Japan
    K = Sri Lanka, Israel, South Korea
    L = China
    M = India, Indonesia, Thailand
    N = Pakistan, Turkey
    P = Phillipines, Singapore, Malaysia
    R = United Arab Emirates, Taiwan, Vietnam
    S = Great Britain, Germany, Poland
    T = Switzerland, Czech Republic, Hungary, Portugal
    U = Denmark, Ireland, Romania, Slovakia
    V = Austria, France, Spain, Yugoslavia, Croatia, Estonia
    W = Germany
    X = Bulgaria, Greece, Netherlands, Russia, Luxembourg
    Y = Belgium, Finland, Malta, Sweden, Norway, Belarus, Ukraine
    Z = Italy, Slovenia, Lithuania
    1 = USA
    2 = Canada
    3 = Mexico, Costa Rica, Cayman Islands
    4 = USA
    5 = USA
    6 = Australia
    7 = New Zealand
    8 = Argentina, Chile, Ecuador, Peru, Venezuela
    9 = Brazil, Colombia, Paraguay, Uruguay, Trinidad & Tobago

    2nd Character: Make/Manufacturer
    A = Audi, Jaguar
    B = BMW, Dodge
    C = Chrysler
    D = Mercedes
    G = General Motors
    H = Honda
    L = Lincoln
    M = Mercury
    N = Nissan
    P = Plymouth
    T = Toyota
    V = Volvo, VW
    1 = Chevrolet
    2 = Pontiac
    3 = Oldsmobile
    4 = Buick
    5 = Pontiac
    6 = Cadillac
    7 = General Motors (Canada)
    8 = Saturn

    Some manufacturers use the third character as a code for a vehicle category (e.g., bus or truck), a division within a manufacturer, or both.

    3rd Character: Vehicle Type
    F = Honda Motorcycle, Built in USA
    G = Honda Passenger Vehicle, Built in USA/Canada/Mexico/China
    H = Acura Passenger Vehicle, Built in Canada
    H = Honda Passenger Vehicle, Built in UK
    J = Honda Light Duty Truck, Built in Canada
    K = Honda Multi-purpose passenger vehicle, Built in Canada
    L = Honda Multi-purpose passenger vehicle, Built in Japan
    M = Honda Passenger Vehicle, Built in Japan

    R = Honda Passenger Vehicle, Built in Indonesia
    S = Honda Passenger Vehicle, Built in UK
    1 = Honda Motorcycle, Built in Mexico
    2 = Honda Motorcycle, Built in Japan
    3 = Honda ATV, Built in Japan
    4 = Acura Passenger Vehicle, Built in Japan


    WMI Method 2: The first character still represents the country of origin. The second character no longer represents the Make/Manufacturer, and the third character no longer represents the vehicle type. Instead, the second and third characters are combined with the first character to make a generic code.

    1st through 3rd Characters:
    LUC = Honda Automobile (China)
    MRH = Honda Automobile (Thailand)
    RKT = Honda Automobile (Taiwan)
    VTM = Honda Motorcycle (Spain)
    YC1 = Honda Motorcycle (Belguim)
    ZDC = Honda Motorcycle (Italy)
    19U = Acura CL & TL (1999+)
    478 = Honda ATV (USA)
    4S6 = Honda Passport (All)
    5FN = Honda Odyssey (2002+) & Pilot (2005+)
    5FP = Honda Ridgeline (2009+)
    5J6 = Honda Element (All) and Honda CR-V
    5J8 = Acura RDX (All)
    93H = Honda Automobile (Brazil)
    9C2 = Honda Motorcycle (Brazil)


    The 4th through 9th characters in the VIN are the Vehicle Descriptor Section (VDS). This is used, according to local regulations, to identify the vehicle type and may include information on the platform used, the model, and the body style. Each manufacturer has a unique system for using this field. Most manufacturers since the 1980s have used the 8th digit to identify the engine type whenever there is more than one engine choice for the vehicle.


    4th and 5th Characters: Car Line & Engine - Chassis Code (1981-1986)

    6th Character: Transmission Type (1981-1986)
    2 = Semi-Hondamatic
    3 = 3 Speed Automatic
    4 = 4 Speed Manual
    5 = 5 Speed Manual
    6 = 6 Speed Manual (5 Speed Manual w/ Super Low Gear)
    7 = 4 Speed Automatic

    4th through 6th Characters: Car Line & Engine - Chassis Code (1987+)

    7th Character: Body Type (1981-1986)
    2 = 2-door Coupe
    3 = 3-door Hatchback
    4 = 4-door Sedan
    5 = 5-door Wagon
