Hi all, A great deal on a 97 Del Sol S popped up, and figured it would be great to buy considering my current Volvo is on it's deathbed. Aside from the common roof leaks/squeaks, and some leaking, can anybody comment (preferrably from experience) about other issues they've had with their Del...

I was in Wal-Mart to buy some engine oil and I noticed that they now have a store brand (Super Tech, I think) Fully Synthetic oil. The 5 qt container sells for $12 something. Considering that "brand" name synthetic oils sell for 2 or 3 times that amount, I was tempted to give it a try, but didn't...

Without serious modifications, my 91 Civic (among other Honda models) permits only one alignment angle to be adjusted: Toe. Has anyone here set the toe themselves? If so, what tools did you use or devise? Was your effort successful as indicated by tire wear and steering feel? I have googled and...

I bought a generic O2 sensor for my 2000 Accord EX. The sensor heater wires are the same color, white on the old one, black on the new one. Is the heater circuit positive / negative sensitive? I installed it using the old connector and get an almost immediate CEL with P1162. Thanks. Jim

I have a 1998 Honda Accord LX that I purchased used and the car has run fine up until a year ago where the car would just randomly shut off. After lots of trouble shooting I found that the problem was in the ignition cylinder, if I hit a bump the key would move slightly and the car shut off. I...

Hi, I have just bought a 1996 Accord (wagon). The car does not have cruise. I would like to install the original Honda cruise (including steering wheel controls). Does anyone know whether a complete cruise set can be bought? And would it then be a matter of 'snapping' it in, all cables and...

Semi repost. Apologies in advance. 98 Accord EX V6 coupe: I want to put in a 6-disc in-dash changer from a 2002 Accord 4-DR in my 2 DR. Specifically, does anyone have personal experience with the wiring difference? I don't know what the speaker config. of the previous car was though i think...

I tried inquring about this at the one Usenet Isuzu newsgroup but am not getting any feedback. Friends of mine have a 2000, 3.5 Liter, 4-wheel drive, automatic transmission, Isuzu Trooper. While driving it up a large hill (really, the foothills of a serious Western mountain range), the car stopped...

I just bought some Bosch Platinum plugs for my CR-V (2003) at a good price. ($13.58 CD for 4) I know the manual recommends NGK. Is it okay to put the Bosch Platinum, or will I be disappointed? Also, when should plugs be changed? (I have 48,000 KMs on it.) Thank you, Nino

2001 Civic LX - Supposed to use 5W-20 (I think that's what it says on the cap). I used 10W-40. It's what a mechanic recommended. Not the 1st time I've used a diff oil than spec. Just wondering if there can be bad consequences if I use the wrong motor oil? Also, what exactly do those numbers and...

Hello All, When I turn on the A/C in my 1998 Honda Civic EX....I get the feeling that the engine is stalling. The dealer checked it and told me that the A/C compressor must be replaced and the total charge for the replacement including labor is 1,200/- I checked the price of the compressor and it...

I have a 1994 Civic DX with 175/70X13 tires on steel rims. I would like to put a 185/60 X 14 or maybe a 195/50 X 15 wheel combo on this car but I don't want to spend too much for wheels. I'm hoping to find a nice set of used Honda/Acura rims. I asume that an Acura or Acura GSR rim of the same...

My son's 155,000 mile 93 SI has gradually been using more & more antifreeze. It recently went through a quart in 600 miles. I have thouroughly inspected for leaks and can find none. Water pump is fairly new and no leak at the weep hole. No sign of antifreeze in oil, no foam in valve cover. No sign...
