Our 97 Accord was damaged in an accident where the front drivers wheel hit a curb and since then the suspension was repaired, but now the check engine light came on. The OBDll code reads P0700 which is something wrong in the transmission. The car and trans run great but it seems that the torque...

Hey All, How do you replace the lights in the heater/AC control panel lights. Both are burned out. My Helms manual does not specify how to replace them nor the light type. Are they like the ones in the rear defroster and cruise control button lights? Thanks

I have a 1999 Honda Civic CX (the US hatchback version, manual transmission, possibly the last year it was made) with 230,000 miles.

When selling my '93 Honda Accord is it to both parties advantage to go to the DMV together to transfer title and finalize the deal (California)? Someone wanted to buy the car off me last night after driving it around the block. He had the money but I didn't feel comfortable with his haste. I have a...

My 1997 Honda Civic DX started for two or three seconds then died. The engine turns over fine but will not start or even fire. When I disconnect the fuel line at the manifold to check for pressure and flow, the engine starts. It runs until the fuel in the injection manifold is gone. When the fuel...

Does anyone have any ideas about which is a better buy? The Element is about $3,300.00 dollars less than the CRV when comparably equipped, and that means the ex and 4 wheel drive. I am thinking about getting an economy SUV that can handle New England winters and snow. I don't want to spend...

Only 5000 miles on her but I notice the click in the right rear while stopping while going forward after backing up out of the driveway or wherever. It only does it the first time I come to a stop. Subsequent stops are quiet. Any ideas?

Just passing 10.000 miles, I had my oil changed at a private dealership this time since my warranty ran out last october. The mechanic called my attention to a leaking strut on my passenger side, recommending replacement. After some research on the internet I found out about a strut problem...

Whenever I try to use tire shine, I get residue on the body panels behind the tires after driving. I'm using Eagle brand tire shine, and I usually scrub the tires with a brush first to get the dirt off, rinse, then spray the tire shine on the tire and use a tire swipe sponge to even it out. Any...

I was checking out the MPG, and I noticed that for the 2005 Civic EX Special Edition, the AT has better highway gas mileage than the MT (38 vs 37). I can understand them being the same, but how can AT be higher than MT? The AT even weighs 56 lbs...

I don't know if my car has always done this, but I realized recently that my AC compressor cycles on/off every 10 seconds when idling at a stop light. Is that normal? I have a 2001 Civic. The outside temp was about 80s, low humidity (maybe 25%). In terms of cooling the cabin, the AC works fine....

I love Civics, and I also like hatchbacks for the extra trunk space. Unfortunately, I'm in California, and the Civic hatchback is not sold in the U.S. (or anywhere in North America, I believe). Is there any way I can buy or import the Civic 5-DR into California? Would the foreign Civics meet...
