Each time the idle RPM dropped a little bit, so I said "OK, each cylinder must be firing properly". However, I drove later to AutoZone and asked them to check the...

Hi, I have a 97 accord. I have a bad front wheel stud. When they changed my tires, I noticed that the studs are on a circular plate bolted to the top of the rotor. Easy enough...I can remove 4 bolts, then take the plate off with studs. Since I have not done this before, I don't know if I need...

Did I ever tell you aftermarket sucks? Through no fault of my own, I ended up with two aftermarket reman alternators (NAPA), both of which failed very quickly. This time I said screw the aftermarket warranty, bit the bullet and bought a genuine Honda reman. And this one I installed...myself....

this afternoon, i went to my favorite junkyard and bought two crank bolts. one from an 91 civic, one from a 92 civic. i'm going to post the pics later this evening, but the observations are these: _91_ * eyeball=poppingly hard to shift - had to get a fulcrum and bounce full bodyweight at the end...

I own a 2001 Honda Civic. It has about 100,000 KMs (62000 miles) I just brought my car in to be repaired. The Honda dealer told me I have to change the timing belt and water pump. Athough the timing belt is not broken, he recommended I change it since it is all cracked. Unfortunately changing...
