I recently purchased a 4dr 5spd, 99 civic special edition with a crappy gauge cluster (it only has speed, fuel, and temp gauges). I'm interested in upgrading it with an EX or Si gauge cluster which has a tach. Is this possible? How much work is required? I plan on swapping the engine in this car...

One morning the car won't start because of a dead battery. I'd jump started it and went on my way. The next morning, the battery had drained again. I pop the hood and turn on the ignition and notice the AC fan is running. Then I charge the battery I connect the battery terminal to the car. Just...

what is the brake master cylinder piston diameter on the 93 civic ex or si? anybody know?

I have been using pb blaster, but the bolt will not slide out from the lower mounting of the alternator - 94 civic lx. I can't even move the alt by hand, so I have been using a prybar and large sledge hammer - then it moves, but won't free up enough to release the through bolt. I guess Honda...

94 civix lx 176k miles on block, 80k miles on head that was planed and checked out at the local parts store. I noticed the exhaust has white steam coming out the tailpipe, looking like when the head gasket went. The head is torqued properly. Sounds like possibly a defective head? Shouldn't the...

Hi, I got this Civic LX 97 a few weeks ago. I checked the engine compression, it is OK, all cylinders 158-161psi. I also have a 2001 Civic LX that my wife drives now. Both cars are manual transmission. Here is what I notices: Acceleration: the 97 accelerates noticeably slower than the 01

Surprisingly, I'm having trouble getting an answer to what seems to me like a simple question. I have a '97 Accord, which is running very hot. What I've noticed is that if I'm stopped (with the temperate gauge nearly in the red zone), the fan does NOT come on if the engine is running. If I turn...

Got this 97 Civic LX, AM/FM (no cassette) but there is an OEM Single Disc CD-PLAYER next to the cup holders (stupid!!!). anyway, on the AM/FM/Clock unit, there is an LED above the "CLOCK" button and to the right of "6" button. It is shown in the Owner's manual, but I coudn't find it's meaning. It...

My wife's 2000 CR-v now has 50K miles and I am going to do the servicing on it. The Chiltons manual says that I should use Honda genuine Coolant and transmission fuild. Is there a reason I cant just use generic stuff from the auto parts store ? Thanks.

I have a '97 Accord. The driver side power window died in 2001, so I had the dealer fix it (so presumably they used genuine honda parts). Now it died again, so it seems like it only lasts for 4 years. What's up with that?

Hey im thinking of getting rid of my 1987 CRX that was given to me as a birthday present to use the money to get a newer car. I have no idea what the cars are worth, and was hopeing i could get some suggestions on what to ask for it if i sell it as is. (im 16 and have no experiance selling cars)...

Good day all, A few months ago my Integra developed a "whine" which started at a faint subtle noise when cold and has now progressed (~6 months) to a full blown whine all the time, regardless of engine temp, which is getting unbearable. 169K miles on the odometer. A friend and I used an...

my car makes a hummmmming sound or a sound that might reflect to a wheel bearing when in drive and it reaches about 5 mph and does not stop until it returns under 5 mph the transmission still has a lot of torking power i need some help on where to start on fixing the problem

I notice that they are selling this next year, which is a good thing as they really need a smaller basic car. But the only model they sell is the luxury loaded model with the higher HP engine. How can we convince them to sell the basic 1.2L model that they sell in the U.K.(1.3 in Japan)? We need...

Hi, I broke the drivers side door lock on my 2003 civic, i was putting the door skin back on and the "little pop up lock" got jammed down instead of fitting through the door skin... long story short the gears arent lining up right in the mechanism. i have a feeling if i try taking it apart to fix...

jim, you requested me to add the K&N filter study. It's taken me long enough that the original thread is off my provider's cache, but I did put it up: http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/links.html By the way, I was slow at work for a while, so I started my long-desired conversion of the FAQ to CSS....
