Pinging on very moderate acceleration on level road. Cleaned plenum. Cleaned EGR port. Replaced EGR valve. Ran like butter for about 6 weeks and pinging gradually returned. Repeat procedure. Same exact set of results 2 times now. Only...he--hem..."high-test" will stop the pinging. Thoughts?

I've been busy upgrading my 88 hatch- my 1st Honda, bought maybe 3 months ago. Thought I'd finally focus on the drivetrain some, and figured the 4-speed tranny would be the 1st thing to go. I guessed/assumed that the typical 4G civic 5-speed tranny would NOT be close-ratio, would likely have a...

spent all day yesterday swapping the head gasket on the civic. ugh. utterly non-trivial. it's been a while since i've done that job on any car and you forget... i have to say, the civic is a royal pita. it's not just the picky stuff like the hard-to-get-at hoses, the hidden mounting brackets,...

Anyone have any idea? I've found some vague instructions here, but couldnt manage to take it off. Any help would be appreciated.

hondas are amazing cars...but what do you think about chinese cars like zhonghua and chery....china will eventually create better engines and styling methods than japanese.. check http://www.chinacarforums.com

92 Accord with 200K miles, runs great, want to drive forever. Problem is it ocassionally will not idle worth a darn, drops off and stalls. Will go away for months then return. Have factory m. and the idle woes all should generate a trouble code- none present. Any advice fellas-suspect a vacuum...

Hi All, new to the group. We just picked up a very clean '99 Civic EX 2-door automatic for my daughter's first car. Lately it's been shuddering, slipping a shifting harshly, mostly when pulling away from a stop. Seems to run OK once up to speed though. Coincident with this behavior the...

My 95 Civic with the 1.6 VTEC engine (195,000 miles)has been experiencing some intermittent hesitation. This is most noticable on warm days. It seems to have started about the same time as the change in fuel that now includes alcohol. About the same time I had also checked and cleaned a well...

After reading several posts regarding rough idle I still haven't come across anything describing my issue so I thought I would post in hopes of a reply/answer. I have a 2000 5spd manual transmission accord that is having sporadic idling issues. It seems to mainly trigger when I brake hard (or...

I own a 1992 Honda Accord and for the last two years I haven't been able to repair my AC. I was going to get some mechanics to do it but I figure I'd try to do it myself(assuming it's easy enough for me). Anyways, I know I have to buy some conversion kit or something like. Just wanted to know if...

You know those aftermarket aluminum wing things bolted to the rear deck of (usually around here anyway) old Hondas? Do they actually serve any function other than to uglify the car? In the olden days cars were rear wheel drive and wings helped to push down on the back for more traction- at least...

I have a '93 Accord 10th Anniversary Ed. Automatic. I've owed the car for about 6 months and I have a couple of different problems that I hope someone can help with. 1) The engine has a rough idle when warm (500-750 rpms). When I shift out of gear and into Neutral or Park it smooths out quite a...

I have a 1992 Honda accord I notice the lower radiator hose runs cool even with both fans on but the upper hose runs quite hot. I also notice with the engine cold when I take the radiator cap off the antifreeze runs out is this okay when the engine is cold. Sign wirenet

Hey all, I've got a 1993 Honda Accord with manual transmission. I've recently replaced the CV Axles, both front struts and Master Cylinder (yay!). I've since noticed that my transmission is make some shifting noises. When I'm shifting into a new gear it makes a clicking noise (not a quiet...

Hi there, I'm thinking of getting a 2.0 Accord (old shape) for a long commute which is constant cruising at 60-80. What kind of mpg would I get? The reliability is paramount and I have a local garage that will service cheaply. Also what's the wind noise like at 80? I know I should get a diesel but...

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...

Scott i have a hard time believing you have had all this happen on your 97 Civic i mean were not talking about a domestic DODGE "CHRY-SELLER" :O or ford product here uuhmm im gonna say your probably better off cutting your losses and trade it in for a newer...

Currently I own a 1991 Accord Wagon (Aerodeck in Eu) 2.2i EX. Very good car, great to drive. Now I found a 1996 Accord Wagon for sale at a dealer, also a 2.2 liter. Low milage, only 115k kms. Anything special I should look for when I go over to inspect this car? The 1991 is a very reliable car,...

Hi again all. Wonder if someone could point me in the right direction here. My former brother in law had this neon tape kit he bought. I don't know what it is officially called but it sticks on like auto pinstriping and hooks into the electrical system. When activated, it lights up, like...
