Hi, 52,000 miles. This became obvious yesterday. It may have been happening for a while because it literally sounds like a bird chirping. But, it got louder in the past day or so if it was already happening. I did wack a recessed manhole cover the night before with the left wheel, but the...

Hi all, The engine light on my 2002 honda accord just went on. I took it to the shop they replaced the spark plug but also said the compression was low on cylinder 1. They said it was at 100lbs and should be around 150 lbs. They said the check engine light might come back on for that. After two...

I have a UK 2003 CR-V with factory fitted Satellite Navigation. Is there anyway to get the system to display the current road you are on when not in navigation mode; ie just when the map is displaying your current position. It's the Alpine system with a disk APN2-34102 VER 2.05 TIA

The transmission in my 91 Civic vibrates/shutters when shifting to second gear. All other gears seem fine. Anyone know of a quick fix? My Ford F-150 has done the exact same thing when shifting to overdrive for the last 70,000 miles. That one I believe is a sticky solenoid, but it has never...

I'm about to attempt an install of some equipment through my CD-player/stereo that will add RCA aux inputs (you guessed it, to attach an iPod...) Before I disconnected battery power and the like, I wanted to check with anyone on the thread who knew if my stereo would need me to input a security...

I am having a problem with my 1996 civic's temperature control slider. I don't think it's connected any more to the mechanism. I read he http://www.realcaraudio.com/forums/showthread/t-226492.html that on the 94 model you can get to the area by taking out the stereo. Can you do the same on...

I recently bought 96 Honda Civic for my wife, but I drive to work. About a week ago a scrreeching (metal on metal) noise started very quietly and it's been getting louder daily. But it doesn't start until I've driven about 3/4 miles and then it slowly gets louder and louder BUT when I apply the...

There's nothingon the Honda web site indicating a feature I was curious about on a 2006 Accord LX-V6 so I'm guessing its not a factory option and something I would have to do aftermarket. I was interested in adding remote start to the Accord. Anyone know whether its available factory installed or...

I am the original owner of a 99 CRV, 2 wheel drive.

Put in a replacement engine in a car. When I went to adjust the timing, the 15 degree BTDC mark was way up so that I had to look up in the timing hole to see it (could not look straight in and see it). I estimated roughly that it was another 15 to 20 degrees out. The check engine light is ON. ...
