Accord, 2000, V6, vtec. This job looks to be pretty big and complex. Obviously one should also do the water pump once inside there too. Does the Honda service and repair manual do a good job in outlining this job? I've done timing chains on big American V8's, but I think thats a...

My 86 honda accord DX is getting motor oil in the air filter pan. It seems to be leaking oil from the thermostatic air cleaner valve motor next to the air filter housing. What could be causing this?

Hi Gang, I've got a puddle forming in the footwell on my passenger side when there's been heavy rain. It seems to be coming from some point on the outside well wall and running over the carpet into the rubber mat. This happens even when the car is standing Which is most of the time since it only...

I have a dumb, but urgent, message about the Honda CR-V; hope someone can help soon! My girlfriend loaned me her CR-V (about a 2002-3 model) over the Christmas holiday while she visited her relatives. Great car! Except that a stupid little reminder light about the tailgate is staying on on the...

Hi all wondering if you could help me out I have a 2001 accord LX 2dr V6 I had to change out the SRS unit and of course the SRS light is on. I found the appropiate yellow connector on the right side fuse box and jumperd it. The problem is the SRS light never goes out after 6 seconds so I can not...

anyone have experience of reliability issues with the i.c.u., the integrated control unit that controls, among other things, intermittent wiper operation? mine is being extremely temperamental - sometimes the intermittent wipers work, sometimes not. other wiper operations are fine. other icm...

Hi all, Need to get the radio out of a CR-V (2003, automatic) to fit a hands-free kit, had a quick look but cant figure out how to do it (probably really simple if you know how!). Anybody got simple instructions on how to remove it Many thanks Orient

Hi everybody. I'm thinking about a new Civic in the coming months, and curious if any of you who have already bought one are getting the mileage ratings posted, or above or below that? I drive average to heavy-footed, so I'm curious what real-world figures are popping up out there. I have a...

I lost a set of keys to my 04 Civic EX. I have another set that has the 'tag' with the key-code. When I take this to the dealer what can I expect to pay for a new key and for a new push-button keyless remote? Is there an aftermarket remote that I can buy? Can only the dealer make a new key (I...

Hi, I have an 88 dx civic hatchback. I am getting a check engine light coming on with one blinking LED code. Could someone tell me what is wrong? It is fine after I turn off the engine and then restart it. I just changed the oil and spark plugs on it and the light came on a week after.

Can anyone suggest a likely cause for the sudden under-reporting by 50% of available range remaining on a full tank of gas with my '04 Accord EX V6 w/ nav system's trip computer? I have reset the "history" function both on filling the tank as well as repeatedly every 10 miles thereafter while on...

Just started doing this. A whine that sounds like a truck transmission. It follows the speed of the engine. It sounds like it's coming from the right front engine area (as you face the engine compartment). I figured belt? water pump? 145K. Anybody have a clue who's had a similar problem? I did an...

The subject says it all, but my first specific question is: is there a factory antenna booster? I am putting in a new radio and I didn't hook any of the power antenna connections up (I have a non-power antenna, although when I opened up the back to take a look there was a power unit laying in...

Hi there. I have been looking at the new Honda Civic, it's pretty sweet, and the welds and everything are as nice as anything I have ever seen. I just have a question about the "Drive by wire" system that they are supposed to have. What happens if the Engine dies on you? In my current car, my...

Hi all, Previous posts I have put up will bring you through the 'saga' i have had with my sisters car. Short story is that the t-belt snapped. It was then taken to a honda dealership. They just put it back together (650 bucks later) said no compression on cylinder 3. Obviously, the incident...

I got my 03 pilot back from the dealer - one item puzzles me - 85k miles on it and they said I really needed rear brakes - they wanted $500+, but I only went for rear pads - $162. Is it normal for the rotors to rust on the part facing away from the wheel? I will check how much to replace them on...

Hi. On a '93 Honda Accord EX station wagon, I just replaced the jammed & broken regulator & motor assembly on the drivers side rear power window...BUT it's very slow going up & there was a loud "clunk" dropping a black plastic "U" shaped part to the bottom. Cleaning & greasing the channel with...

The other day when I tried to start my civic it didn't start for a few minutes, and when I came back to it and tried to start it did but I had to push the key hard to the right. Then it worked ok until I left it parked for a few days and now it wont start. I was wondering if thats something to do...
