So I got around to fixing the door jamb switch on a 2003 Honda Civic LX. I think since it was sold new, the little plunger switch was never properly connected. There's this rubber/metal cover that protects it from the outside. The switch has what looks to be a ground connection via three prongs...

So here's the deal. The car is a Honda Civic with a group 51 battery (Kirkland Signature from Costco if that helps). Every once in a while the battery is heavily drained because a light (map light or headlamp) was left on. I do find it annoying that there is no headlight-on warning chime or...

As I was researching the set of tires I bought for my 2004 Subaru Impreza WRX. There were Pirelli P Zero Nero M+S in P205/55-ZR16 size, made in Germany with a marking of 02/04. My tires were marked with a UTQG traction rating of A. I noticed that the sidewall picture in the dealer pamhplet...

In my CR-V, the 12 volt outlet (which in the old days was used for a cigarette lighter) is not powered when the vehicle is not powered. I have a GPS unit that plugs into the 12 volt outlet, and maintains certain information when powered. If I stop for a moment to go into a store, for example, and...

I bought a hydraulic trolley jack and a couple of jack stands. Can I jack up the car anywhere along the edge or must I use the jack points near the front and rear wheels/fenders? Ultimately I want to do my own oil changes, so I need to jack up the car, then place the jack stands underneath.

I could not believe it! This eBook i bought actually got me out of a pretty bad ticket, the worst part is ... It was really my fault! Check it out, it will save your ass. http://www.productsupplycenter.com/web128335/

I bought this accord 5 months ago with only 93k. I changed the front engine mount since it caused vibration at idling. I also changed timing belt, water pump and all three drive belts 1 month ago. Now the car runs fine although at idling there is still some vibration. Since it's much better than...

Hey there, I am still having the same problem with my civic and can not figure it out. When the car is cold, it acts OK for a short while. A little driving quickly brings the problem back. The car will spit and sputter and have severe power loss. Sometimes once it is over 3000 rpm it will kick...

I have a 1990 Honda Civic 4 door with 196k. The car has been running great. The car now seems to have a power loss at low rpm and jerks and shudders untill about 3000 rpm when it will kick back in and perform. I have changed the fuel filter, have new plugs, wires, dist/cap/rotor and all my vac...

When running, no problem. When in neutral (class released), RPM goes tremendously high. I usually have to turn off the ignition and turn back on to move on about a feet in STOP signs. It only happens in Summer and when the engine is already hot (Engine Temperature is normal though). Please tell...

My parked Honda '05 Coupe got rear-ended while parked and it shifted forward 3-4 feet into the back of another car. My car drove home fine, but the next day, it started making a squealing/hissing sound in the front. The sound only happened when it was in drive, reverse or neutral. Do you know...

Hi there all ! Is there an after market suspension kit for the Honda Civic ???? The suspension on my 2002 civic is really BAD. I got it used 6 month ago. I live in Montreal, and i can feel every potholes and bumps in the streets, and beleive me there are a lot of them in this city.

Accord 4cyl 5speed won't shift. 124,000 miles The clutch slave cylinder was going out, so I purhcased a new Clutch Master Cylinder, Slave Cylinder and the line from Honda. I installed them and the car ran fine for about a week. The cylinders are holding pressure and fully extending the clutch arm....

hey does anyone know why my alternator will not hold a charge..i have bench tested it and it test good. there is a little 2wire plug near the alternator, would that have anything to do with it??? oooh yea this is in a ef civic 4d.

Dear All, I had tried disconnected the VSS connector and sprayed it with contact cleaner. The odometer still works most of the time with noticable longer period of not working. I will replace the VSS in a day or two. Will keep you inform about the result. Thanks again Zebra

Dear All, I just noticed that my 94 1.5 Civic's Odometer had fluctuated from 80km to 40km then return to 80km and 80km to 0km then return to 80km while driving constantly at 80km back home on a highway. Any idea what the problem is? Is the Odometer dying? Thanks in advance Zebra

Does anybody know about the warranty coverage on the trans. for the 98 accord? Someone recently told me that Honda extended the warranty due to several problems with transmission failure.

I reversed in a parking lot and switched into drive. When I came to a stop my car vibrated horribly. It vibrates loudest when it is in gear at idle or at low revs. WHAT COULD BE THE PROBLEM? I have been told that it could be a damaged motor mount. If so how difficult and costly would repair be?

I'm considering getting my old Accord (granite green) repainted. It is showing its age with dings, scrapes and scratches on the doors and bumpers to name a few. Would it be worthwhile to get it repainted in the original color and how much should I expect to fork over?
