Hey everyone, this is my first post on here, and I have to say that I'm happy to have finally found a decent forum for automotive ideas. I am the 3rd proud owner of a 1991 Honda CRX DX (with only 150k original miles). It's seen it's better days though; besides having to do the bare maintenance and...

For my 2006 Accord SE sedan: Does Honda make an accessory to give me audio system an aux input? You know, so I can play an ipod through it. I went to the Honda site and it showed nothing. (Did I miss it?) Investigating replacing the factory installed 6-CD changer--but no aux in and no mp3...

Hey y'all. I have a '90 Integra that gets driven occasionally. Last time it was in for an oil change, they told me the coolant hoses are brittle and ought to be replaced. Now I do plan to get this done, but maybe not right away 'cos it's pretty expensive. Is there any danger to the car (or the...

I recently had my stereo aquired (stolen) out of my 92 Honda Accord Ex. I drove the car the next day but after that next night the battery was dead. I have jumped the car and after driving a while the battery seems to charge as I can turn the car off and then back on. However, after leaving it...

I was planning on changing spark plugs and wires tonight on the 97 accord and realized that there is a buildup of oil when I removed the third spark plug wire. I have never seen this before. Is this due to the valve cover gasket seal being worn and as a result it lets oil on the top part of...

Only 75k on this oldie. However, drove it into my driveway friday evening & all was normal. Wife went out sat am & engine fired up fine, steering wheel released, BUT she couldn't get the trans out of park.. I removed the front console cover & removed the shift adjuster lock pin. The shift lever...

What's the latest Honda words on the amount of oil burn in these engines? Because some owners of 2007 Toyotas posted that their manuals say 1.1 qt of oil burn per 600 miles can be considered normal. Many of the newer Toyota/Lexus 3.5L V6 engines have excessive piston- bore clearances they...

I live in California and just got my 97 Accord smogged (230K miles). It passed, but barely. HC emissions for 15mph that was 57 with a maximum allowed of 58 it did much better at 25mph 15/42 For now I am fine, however I will need to get it resmogged right before I sell it in 6 months. >From...

With a mire 5 degrees out, my 98 Civic drive-side window started binding about half way up. With coaxing and force I got it 75% up and got home. When I got home I happened to notice the problem was that the window got on the outside of the rubber "gasket" around the window frame. What...

Hi, I own a 2004 CR-V EX. While pricing options, I considered the "factory installed"(dealer)foglights, but was put off by the almost $700 price tag. I have seen the same Honda foglights on Honda parts websites for about $260. My question is: How difficult is it for a mechanically inclined person...

I've lurked around this group for a while, and have found it very interesting and useful. Thanks to all those who've left helpful info in the archives. And thanks to Tegger for maintaining a worthwhile FAQ. My DIY ambitions don't extend byond changing my oil, PCV and air filter, but I know enough...

I'm about to purchase a used Honda Accord and am wondering whether there are some model years which are preferable to others. I'm not keen on the styling of 1996 Hondas so I thought I would purchase something a little earlier or just a bit later. I want to spend somewhere between $4000 to $7500. ...

I'm reaching into the "wayback machine" here; but I need some info on an older auto alarm system. I recently purchased a 1995 Honda Prelude that has an (aftermarket, I think) anti-theft system installed. At this point, all I know about it is from the window decal and the name on the remote...

What to do? I have a 1988 Honda Accord Coupe who's engine seized nearly a year ago. I need a new engine and a new transmission, which I could get, rebuilt. The body is in good condition, but the seats are torn and I also would be needing new A/C. Also needed would be a new windshield washer...

I just started having problems starting my car, some times it starts and sometimes it does. I noticed that when the dash lights work then the car is going to start but if I turn the key and dash lighs do not turn on then the car will sound like it is going to turn on but doesn't. When I'm driving...

And is it easy to get to? What about the drain plug? I just have a 100 miles on it now, but I don't know if I should leave in the oil for 5000 miles as people have mentioned that Honda has a special 'break in' oil or just to change the oil my self at 1000mi. I don't think the manual specifically...

Yesterday, I bought a 1992 Honda Civic EX for my daughter. I test drove the car and everything appeared fine. I also test drove several others. I talked to the previous owner and looked at previous repair records on this vehicle. Any way, today I returned with my daughter to sign papers and...

Wow this is quite surprise to see Hyundai (former maker of Excel) scores higher than Toyata and Honda for the consumer satisfaction index. My simply reaction is how could it possible that Hyundai is more dependable than Toyota and Honda. Forget two expensive Porsche and Lexus. Focus on average...
