I went last week to a Honda dealer to trade in my car for a new Accord Value Pack (VP, base model). I was surprised by all their tactics to get the most out of my money. I don't blame the salesperson because he was nice and helpful, but I think the sales manager went a little too far in his...

Problems with windshield wipers.. With the multi-function switch in the OFF position; wipers run on low speed. Will not shut off at all. Have to turn ignition off to stop wipers. Wipers will stop at any point on the windshield when ignition is turned off. Have to have pulled the fuse to stop...

I have a '92 Civic EX. Sometimes the engine will turn a while before the car finally starts. This doesn't ever seem to happen when the car is cold. I can go into the grocery store for a few minutes, come out, try to crank the car and it just turns for about 5 seconds or more. Sometimes I stop...

Is there anyone with either carfax.com or autocheck.com service right now that could run one check for me? Please email me. I will pass your favor along to someone else somehow. Thank you.

Need to know where I can decode the VIN of 2004 Civics. Have tried the usual search engines but they only give me general information. Any site or source would be much appreciated. Thanks

I'm not totally new to Hondas, but this code is totally new to me. CEL light came on Sun afternoon and I had the code read out at a local Autozone. Should I reset it and see if it reoccurs? Check anything out? Or just get it to the dealer ASAP? (my local Honda dealer is good and I have no...

I recently got to thinking about the Hondas I've owned and how the cars have changed over the years. When I bought my first one, Hondas had a well-earned reputation for high reliability and economy coupled with innovative engineering. I still have trouble believing that a top-of- the-line Civic...

I think I posted about this when my timing belt was changed a couple of years ago; the short version was that my usual mechanic told me after he'd finished the work that he thought my 90 CRX Si had a 1.5L engine instead of the usual 1.6, because the timing belt for a 1.6 didn't fit, but the...

Anyone having good luck with mail order Honda parts? I ordered four oil filters and a bulb from Majestic Honda for a total of $20.82. Then they charged me $4.95 for handling and $8.22 for freight. I thought this was pretty outrageous! I called Hparts recently and they didn't answer the phone.

In the process of trying to replace my O2 (Oxygen) sensor on my 1993 honda civic EX, I broke the old one off. I tried some usual stuff, knocking it with a hammer, liberal WD-40, running the car for a bit to heat up the manifold. Anyway, TINK! it broke. Any suggestions? Two pictures of the...

Hi, I'm going to be moving to Texas for work and will be buying my first car there. I plan to stay there for about 3 years. The company is supplying a rental car for the first month, during which time i will have to find my own car. I'm looking for a cheap used car. I've been checking out Honda...

My tape player broke on my 2005 Pilot. I have been at Rt23 almost every other day for the past week. They keep saying it is fixed and I keep having to proove it has not. I had to take time off from work to come in and show them that the problem is still there. The courtesy car was given to me with...

Accord, 2000, V6, vtec. This job looks to be pretty big and complex. Obviously one should also do the water pump once inside there too. Does the Honda service and repair manual do a good job in outlining this job? I've done timing chains on big American V8's, but I think thats a...

A few more issues from my poor little car for anyone who can shed some light... My '90 5-spd Civic Ex has been bogging down at low RPMs since I bought it last fall. When I accelerate from a dead stop I have to goose it to about 2500rpm and then pop the clutch a bit to get it to take off as quick...

It's time for some new shoes for my '03 Accord V-6. I know people on this usenet group are not all that fond of the OEM Michellin Energy MVX4 91V tires, but I have been happy with them. Good snow and wet pavement performance, quiet and good mileage. That's good enough for me. I buy my tires at...

My wifes Honda won't start when it's been sitting for 6 hours or so. I hesitate to call it cold, as we live in South Florida and it does this when it's 95 degrees out, but it technically is a 'cold start' issue. So here is what I've done. Attache a FI pressure test guage. As soon as I turn the...

I am a handy guy (engineering background) and I do quite a bit of my own work on my car (oil changes, electrical repairs, etc). I am considering doing my own brake work. With the miles I put on my car each year, I am servicing both front and rear brakes annually at a cost of close to $800. I know...

I would rather have a quick Accord 4 cylinder LX hybrid that gets 59 mpg. Will hybrids come down in cost due to higher demand and mass production?

I've been following the thread on Honda brand antifreeze, and I noticed the comments about Prestone not belonging in a Honda. I noticed green antifreeze in my 93 civic that I bought from a friend recently. What potential hazards am I dealing with? What's the best way to get it all out if I'm...
