Hi, Folks. I've got a 97 Civic LX, 4 Dr, Stick/Air/ABS, in Toronto, ON, Canada. It's got 160KKms on it. (about 100,00 miles) I'd like to hear your opinions - about keep it for a couple more years and maintain it vs. trade it in.. (probbably for an accord).. I purchased it new, in 97, because I...

My 97 Civic DX (automatic) makes a "clunk" sound when i shift into drive. I changed the rear mount and the two lower mounts. This fixed the clunk when shifted into reverse, but its still there when i shift into drive. My question is.... Will changing the top mounts likely have an effect, or are...

All four of the power windows on my civic quit working at the same time. I have checked the fuses and they are fine. Does anyone have any advice?

I have a 97 civic EX that still runs great (most of the time). About twice a year I attempt to start the car and it sounds like it is about to start but it never catches. If I hold the accelerator to the floor and try to start it, it starts after about 10 seconds of cranking. After it starts it...

Just a few days ago, following a loose harmonic balance spinning on the crank and grinding off the spline gear teeth of both parts, a salvaged motor from a 94 Civic was installed by a local garage in my old enough to know better, son's car. The business that sold us the engine ($700 w tax) said...

I am attempting to get my 97 Civic EX inspected at a NJ State Facility. However, they cannot access my system (i.e. OBD Not Ready for all of the sensors). My check engine light is NOT on. Following advice I have done the following: driven the car more (100's of miles); let the car warm up for 30...

Hi, I'm thinking of buying a 97 honda accord ex v6 with 100k miles on it. I like it just fine, the only problem is is that it shakes quite noticeably when i brake on the highway over 60. Is this something that must be fixed or is it likely that the car is safe with this problem (brakes won't...

I have a 1997 Honda Accord with about 140K miles. The seat belt on the drivers side doesnt retract well anymore. Often the belt gets caught in the door when I leave the car. Perhaps this is normal wear and tear on the seat belt mechanism after so many miles. Just wondering if anyone has a similar...

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...

okay well i have a 1997 honda civic dx 2 dr coupe and none of the a/c buttons work except the rear defroster. the fan under the hood works and it keeps running even when the car is off and key is still in the ignition. I tried to changed the fuse(i noticed it was blown) and the a/c kick on. it...

Hi - i replaced my working honda civic EX original radio with an afermarket sony CD player. The best buy tech guy seemed to have done a good job installing, until i discovered that the remote control lock for the car doors stopped working. The battery in the hand unit seems to be fine (the red...

I bought a 97 Civic HX 6 months ago and have put about 8000 highway miles on it. I have only replaced the spark plugs when I first got it and got close to 40 MPG. It has 88000 miles. In the last 1000 miles it is down to around 33MPG (under same driving conditions). What should I look...

Hi, I have a 97 Civic with 165k miles that seems to run strong and get good gas mileage. I do courier type work and have been getting 38 to 40 mpg. I do use a fair amount of oil, about a quart every 700-1000 miles, although I don't notice any smoke. Passed emissions three months ago. I haven't...

I have have a 97 Honda Passport but the 4wd does not work. When I start it, all dash lights including the 4 wheel drive light come on, so I know the light is ok. But when I engage the 4 wd the light does not come on and the 4wd does not work. The shifter seems to work ok, but no 4wd. When we...

So I replace the motor and all is well. I decide to pull the back off of the old motor see...
