I have a 96 civic EX with 110k on it. It has been a great car, the only thing I have ever had to replace was the alternator and battery. I replaced the timing belt not too long ago just to get it out of the way. The engine however many times make a deep knocking when in low gear or going up a...

Hello All Hoping to get some opinions on something that troubles me about my car's behavior . It's a 2003 Accord EX V6 Automatic. It's been through the transmission

I have a 99 Honda Civic (EX) and I have a problem in snowy conditions: I start the car and keep the heater turned on fully (pointing to front and back window) while i clear the snow. Then when I start driving, I have the heater turned on - still pointing to front and back window. However the...

Hello, I'm thinking of buying an Element (LX 2wd) for around town driving and taking the kids to school. What are the pros and cons you've experienced? I'm a big Honda fan and have bought two CR-Vs in the past. My wife has the 2004 CR-V and I would be driving the Element. To be honest, I don't...

Can the upper timeing belt cover be removed by removing the valve cover to uncover enough of the timeing belt to inspect it?

Hello All, Hey I got myself into a pickle this time. Sometimes I do routine maintenance on my 88 Honda CRX SI myself. And sometimes I like to fix minor stuff. (my downfall is my curiousity and willingness to pick up a wrench outweighs my education / knowledge level of the problem. ) Story goes...

I watched a portion of a newscast from the new auto show. And Honda's new Ridgeline truck looks sweet. and appears to be pretty well equiped with a sticker price of 28k or so.

My Honda Accord 98 (110,000mile) MIL lamp came on with code P0420 ("Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold" ) occasionally about a year ago. About 6 months ago, some wire around/in the Distributor burned. My mechanic replaced the Distributor and Rotor, the MIL didn't came back for 2~3 months....

Does anybody have any information on how to swap rear drum brakes with disc brakes for 91 civic hb? Cons/pros?

I have owned my 92 Civic DX 4dr sedan for a little over a year and it seems that the speedometer reads high, e.g. when it says 65 the car is going about 60. I say "about" because it is hard to get exact clock readings when you are busy and living in an area with a lot of traffic (few measured...

Well I replaced the main relay and ignition switch and it still died out after a few minutes of driving. When it cooled off there was spark again and it would start and run until it got hot again. So I put in a new igniter from Napa. That seems to have cured the problem. At least for now! I...

Hey, This is mostly for those that were following an earlier thread about my idle fluctuating in my 1991 Civic Si. I had said that the bleeding appeared to fix the problem and it did intially. However, I hadn't taken the car out for a good 100 mile hwy. cruise. The bleeding definitely helped, but...

Hi, Just got a new 04 about a week ago. It was a leftover LX. It has Anti-lock ABS brakes and I started to notice a pulse in the pedal during braking. Not "slam on the brakes" stops; just normal slow downs. You know, 60 or so down to 40 mph. I have never had ABS and wonder if there should be...

I had my car inspected and it didn't pass the emission test. NOx(ppm ) current reading is 2199 (High Speed Emission) Low Speed Emission reading was 2595 . Can you please help, and advise what may be the cause for such high reading?

The other day, I had an opportunity to drive a 2003 Honda Civic Hybrid from Albany, NY to Watertown, NY and back...about 360 miles total. My personal car is a 1998 Honda Civic sedan, so the cars were quite similar in size and feel. This is the first time that I have ever had an extended ride in a...

This is a newbie question, so any advice would be appreciated. My 1993 Civic won't start. I bought it, put in a bunmch of new parts (cluctch, timing belt, etc). I drobe it for a couple years, but, being a student, I coudlnt afford to renew insurance, so I had to park the car for about 11 months,...

Hi, Can someone tell me the primary and secondary ignition coil resistance specifications for 91 Civic STD HB? I am having intermittent starting problems. I checked the ignition coil and I got the following readings: Primary: 0.8 Ohms Secondary: 12K Ohms Is it possible that the ignition coil is...

Well I have now replaced my main relay with a new one from Napa(I had previously re-soldered all the points) and I replaced the ignition switch with OEM Honda part. But I still have a problem. I can be driving and the thing just cuts out like the power was turned off to it. Two years ago it died...

Hi there, We just got our first cold snap here in winnipeg, and my girlfriend says she's having idle problems. It stalls when she doesn't keep her foot on the gas. I seem to remember her having this problem last winter, but it just sort of went away. Is it possible that some sort of mechanism...

Hi there, 1990 Accord EX, 189k, well maintained. Recently the brake pedal will fade (close) to the floor: about 1/3-1/2" of play left once it's down there. PA winter, was about 45F today when it happened(so not abnormally hot). Only happens on slow braking. If, after I have stopped, I hold me...
