stiff steering only when parking or very slow maneuvering any ideas ??????

'04 V6 Accord with 4,700 miles on the clock. Running 87 octane. For the last few weeks, in 100 degree temps, the engine has been pinging faintly for several seconds at a time under moderate but slightly aggressive acceleration. It is so subtle that I can just barely hear it. And, only happens...

Worked a a friend's 2004 Civic EX 1.7L VTEC today. Car overheating / no heat into passenger area / both cooling fans will come on only if AC is turned on. Main cooling fan not coming on. Changed T-stat with OEM Honda part and still temp gauge rises while car sits idling. Heater hoses into firewall...

I know VSS (Vehicle Speed Sensor) is on the tranny but for this year Civic how accessable and where ? Is there a quick way to test the sensor / output to determine it is bad ? (same car that is overheating and CEL on). Oh and the typical Honda failure of the hood-release pull knob broken !

Hi :) I'm wondering if anyone else is having this wierd problem. The stock radio in my civi is changing stations by itself, it will only go up or down one "click", but noone is anywhere near it when it happens. I took it to the dealer, and they put a new radio in, but it's still doing it. I am...

I lost a set of keys to my 04 Civic EX. I have another set that has the 'tag' with the key-code. When I take this to the dealer what can I expect to pay for a new key and for a new push-button keyless remote? Is there an aftermarket remote that I can buy? Can only the dealer make a new key (I...

After much heartache I have decided to ditch my Civic ;o( I have had it from new only done 36k mileage yet have had 2 EGR Valves,and on Monday it is going in for another (2nd one) Turbo ! This is too much for a 4 year old car and because it is now out of its 3 years warranty it going to start...

Well, we got the CR-Vs very first oil change today at the dealer and it did NOT burst into flames on the way home. Relieved!! TBurr

Hi, I have a 2004 Honda CR-V and I want to change its engine oil by myself. I did-it-myself on my previous car (1993 Hyundai Elantra), but it was long time ago. It would be appreciated if you answer the following questions; 1. What tools do I need? 2. Is there any special tip(s) to make it...

Thinking about a after market grille, How hard is it to replace.....??

Has anyone found the right cups to fit in the numerous cup holders? Is there a way to improve on the cupholders between the driver and passenger seats? Thanks.

hi , my 04 pilot just has 14,000km and there is a seaking noise when i apply the brake. What is the reason for this is it because i just change the rear differential fuild.

Hi, honda recommends to use 5w-20 oil but can i also use 5w-30 oil instead. Cause they are easier to find in stores and are cheaper.

I have a 2004 Odyssey with 29,300 miles. I average around town (pretty flat here in Ohio) around 13-14 mpg with lite acceleration. Hwy mileage is pretty decent around 22 mpg at 70-75 mph. How does this compare to others? I was getting 10-12 mpg and dealer did a few things to help and it did,...

Can someone post a short description of the procedure to remove the factory radio, and if available, the color codings for various wires that connect to the factory radio, e.g. power, ground, LF speaker, RF speaker, LR speaker, and RR speaker? Purchasing a shop manual seems like...

Only 5000 miles on her but I notice the click in the right rear while stopping while going forward after backing up out of the driveway or wherever. It only does it the first time I come to a stop. Subsequent stops are quiet. Any ideas?

Hello all; Does someone know the make and model of the tires found on an 05 Accord LX-G? Are they any good? Thank you

Well I just bought my new 05 Accord LX-G 4 cyl 5 speed manual. This is my 1st new car. I want to make sure I break the engine in properly. Any suggestions? I mostly do in town driving. I will be going on a 370km trip one way soon with it though. I live in Northern Ontario. I don't know...

The rear deck speakers in my 05 Accord Hybrid were a breeze to change but I don't see how the grilles come off the door speakers. It kind of appears that they don't come off. Do I have to lift the door panel? If so, where are all of the screws? I see the screw cover panels behind the opener...

I have an 05 Accord Hybrid. If I step hard on the gas at highway speeds when the tank is about 1/5 full, the engine light blinks. Twice it blinked for about 10 seconds. Once it blinked for about 2 minutes, even during auto-stop. The light then goes out and the dealership says there's no stored...
