Honda recently found a circumferential crack in both of the bushings for my lower arms of my rear suspension (for a 98 Civic). This bushing connects the lower arm to the rear strut, but I was wondering how serious this really might be. I took the car to a different mechanic who told me not to...

My '98 Odyssey has 158,000 miles on the original timing belt, and I'm done tempting fate. Just two questions... #1. Any gotchas or special tools needed? #2. Anything else I should replace while I'm in there?

Hello, The car brake has been soft for a while. And now i notice that when im stopped on a red-light - the car starts to crawl after a few seconds, and i need to just apply more pressure on the pedal to stop the crawl. Is this related to bad brake pads or something to do with the...

Anyone else had a problem with their 2006 accord ( 2-door) trunk release - via the remote key fob? - Works fine from inside ( pull handle by driver seat) - Can hear mechanism actuate in trunk, but fails to release Anyone have guess as to what has failed? I don't particularly like having to take...

I've got a 2000 Civic. At high RPMs (just prior to shifting or highway speeds) it misfires...sometimes a little and sometimes alot. OBD codes show misfires in each cylinder. (Not alot of helpful info!) I replaced plugs, wires, cap, rotor, and PCV valve. It still misses and the OBD light is...

I was considering the FIT Sport auto for my next car in 2008. Has anyone had any troubles with their FIT's at this point and if so what happened? What is the ride, noise levels and comfort like? How about the stereo, engine performance etc? Thanks, Al

1998 V-6 Accord. 205k. To preface, sometimes upon starting the idle falls to around, say, 400-500rpm and lingers for several seconds and then resumes the normal idle RPM's. Well tonight I started it (car already plenty warm from several trips) and I thought it caught and then shut off as the...

First, I know how to reset the light. What I'm wondering is if anyone has a way to just turn the whole thing off totally. I do oil changes and other main based on my own schedule, which usually errs on the side of caution. I'd rather not have the thing pop up from time to time just for fun as...

I am considering a 2007 CRV and was going to get a 2WD EX but now I am deciding on getting a 4WD LX. I drive in light snow sometimes and heavy rain quite a bit. A couple of questions: 1) I read that 4WD is actually not too good on the CRV--has the 2007 improved? 2) Is there any benefit to getting...

The LCD display is working not lighted. Any ideas? Just went dead. Bought car new not options added.

Actual question in 2nd paragraph below: Referencing TSB 99-085 from Oct 26, 2001 and the updated campaign for fixing insufficient EGR flow that makes the cars (Accord V-6's, 98-01) throw the EGR DTC. First off (assuming out of warranty/coverage), the install kit is about $75 special order. The...

I didn't know anything about hydrolocking..as i was reving over 3k the car started bogging and bogging then i saw black smoke coming out the back of the carr through my rear view, so i pulled into...

Hello. I am having trouble with stalling at idle and would like to clean the idle air control valve and throttle body. Do I need to remove the throttle body to get to the IACV? I removed the bolts for the throttle body, but can't seem to break it free from the intake manifold. Does anyone have a...

My civic has been treating me great until about six months ago. About that time it started with this strange grumbly whining sound whenever it was in gear and driving, mostly when accelerating. About a month ago, I noticed that I had a very small range of accelerator-pedal motion in which I could...

Hello group! I've been reading on some boards here trying to diagnose a problem. I was driving to church tonight in my 2001 Honda CR-V and it just went dead while driving down the road. I noticed it was like it lost power and I pressed the gas pedal and noticed that it was not responding. It...

I have a 97 Accord (190K miles). 1/2 the nights my drivers side headlamp goes out. The bulb is fine. It seems to be the connector that clips on the bulb. Jiggling the connector does nothing. However if I remove the connector from the bulb and reconnect, the light works fine again (until...

Hi, My DRL module is not working properly. The honda dealer quoted $120 + labour to replace this. I was thinking if it is a matter of resoldering it I may attempt it myself. But my haynes manual doesn't tell me where the module is located. So any information about it's location and if it can be...

Looking for forums discussing problems, etc. tia

Hi, The windows in my 96 Accord (Wagon) fog-up very easily in humid weather, it doesn't even have to actually rain. It does this fogging much more than my previous 91 Accord. I have already checked the airco drain tube. Have not found any wet spots inside the car, I have checked all obvious...
