89 civic. A very small amount of coolant is leaking between oil pan and water pump area. I thought it could be engine oil is leaking but after online research I gotta found out that the rad coolant is weeping through a weeping hole. I did not heard of a weeping hole before. Some posters suggested...

my 92 civic 1.5 16 valve has a problem with oil leaking into the dist cap. dealer said the only reason this would happen is due to an internal seal in the dist. we decided to simply replace the dist itself since we had just done an immense amount of work on it anyways. this is the 2nd...

Hi, I had a 97 5spd EX that got totaled and it started doing but did not have enough time to investigate it. I just bought a 96 EX 4cy auto today. My ABS light stays on and makes a funny noise for about 5-10 seconds and the sound goes away but the light stays on. Does anyone have any info on...

I disconnected the PCV Valve tube from the PCV Valve and cannot detect any air flow so I think the tube may be blocked. Does this sound reasonable? I want to clean the tube by removing it and knocking any debris out of it but I can't unfasten the tube from the crankcase. By sliding my hand under...

Any idea how to find out what the maint required light means? - I'm at a little over 42,000 miles. Does this just mean I am due for a service like 40k maint or something? Is there another light that comes on if there is a problem?

I'm the 2nd owner of a 4 door Accord 4 cyl a/t LX w/116k miles on it. On a very light stop the front brakes cause a little vibration shimmy through the steering wheel. Anything harder than that and it is very bad. Since this is my first Honda (already did the timing belt-whew!) is it best to get...

(2000 Accord ex) Ok, I thought I'd be smart and replace only the squeegees, but I can't for the life of me figure out how to. The little metal "claws" seem dug into the old squeegees, and I don't see any little clip, locks, releases, buttons, snaps, etc. to release the old squeegee, just...

89 civic. I went to a shop and asked about the leaking. The man told me it is the engine oil is leaking not coolant. He said it's about $400 to fix the timing belt, camshaft seal and water pump. I asked him it's bit expensive for 16 yr old car. He said that he used a good part and warned me not to...

2000Accord-EX-56K-5Spd: I am planning to do the Coolant Flush, as described in the owner's manual. I have 2 questions: Where can I buy the torque wrench, which sets pressure for Drain Plug, and the Engine Block Nut. Can someone suggest me what to buy and where, please. I am still looking hard,...

I can't seem to come up with a table or chart showing the weight of the OE steel wheel for my '05 LX 4Cly. It's the last number I need for figuring combine tire / wheel weight of upgrades versus OE. Thanks in advance for pointing me to a relevant URL. --...

I have a 93 Honda civic. The temperature meter stays at the regular positions for some time and then moves very fast to the highest level. It happens especially when I drive on highways. What is causing this? thermostat or cooling system or any other problem? Please help!! Thanks Enr

I have a 98 civic and the AC fan recently starting making a "ticking" noise when on..it is more noticeable on the #1 setting...Any ideas what it could be?? In the past, a leaf got in there somehow and had to be removed.. Is there an easy way to get at this thing? Is it behind the glovebox?

My 93 honda civic overheats. I took it to a mechanics(firestone) he did pressure test and said that the thermostat and radiator have to be replaced. I had warrenty for radiator from another mechanic so I took my car back to him to fix the radiator. He said that the overheating is not from...

If one is stopped in a traffic jam with the hybrid, and the engine goes off, does a/c cooling stop as well (I mean the condenser, not the fan)?

Hi, Against my better judgment, I had the timing belt/water pump replaced by a 'friend of a friend'. Now, the engine seems to be a bit down on power and it's got a pretty noticeable vibration at speed. I know...I already feel stupid... :) I took it back to the 'friend of a friend' and he...

I own a 94 accord ex with 300 000 km. When I am driving and press in the clutch and coast, my rpms are generally 1800-2500. When I come to a complete stop, they drop down and almost stall before bumpimg up to about 800rpm. While I am stopped, it will continue going up and down, some times to the...

I am fairly mechanically inclined and do minor repair work on my car, referencing my service manual. I am getting tired shelling out $275+ for 15K and 30K scheduled maintenance intervals at the dealer, yet I think they are important to keep my car in good shape (especially at 140K miles). In my...

Hi, Today when I started my car after digging it out of snow, I smelt gas. Since I am a very first time Honda owner, I am not sure if this is usual for a car with barely 2000 miles on it. I'd love to hear your opinion. Thanks! BTW, I also own a Jetta. When I started it just now, I did not...

Hello people! I have unfortunately fallen into the hapless section of society facing both a cash crunch and car trouble at the same time...looking for salvation here. :) I need to replace the oxygen sensor on my 1996 civic HX... is this a task uncomplicated enough for me to undertake armed with a...

Tires have specs for section width, rim width, and rim width range. (Plus lots of other stuff). Looking at a Pirelli PZero Nero 225/45-WR17, it lists a rim width of 7.5" and a rim width range of 7-9". If this wide tire were mounted on a 17x7" wheel, it would seem that the sidewalls would...
