The car has 230,000 miles on the body and 130,000 on replaced SOHC1.5 Dual Point Injected . While driving the car began to miss, it was parked for a day then it wouldnt start. 5 months later i replaced the fuel filter and put in some new plugs and it started and ran well for about 30minutes then...

Hi, I have a 2002 Honda Civic SiR (or Si in US), and it has been having steering problems: on launching, or at low speeds when the throttle is applied, there is a creaking sound coming from inside the dash. The sound is similar to an old door opening where the hinges need oil. Some times it...

.... by about two inches. Car has 175k miles on it and engine seems in great shape and is maintained pretty carefully IMO by yours truly. The non-levelness is noticeable when standing 30 feet or so from the car. Bounce test (pushing on one side than the other of the front bumper) yields about one...

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...

I've got a new Accord and my custom when buying a new car has always been to change the oil at about 1000 miles. No doubt that's a hold over from the bad old days when you had to get the metal chips and debris deposited during the sloppy engine manufacturing process out of there. Unnecessary...

I am wondering what kind of transmission fluid to use as a replacement on an 87 Prelude SI with a manual transmission. I got the car to work on the clutch and have since taken out the transmission. I haven't been able to find out easily online what sort of replacement fluid to use or if it matter...

Hi, I went to yahoo auto and was reading some posts about people intersted in the accord and was surprised to find so many with negative things to say about the new 2008 accord. I saw some saying that the styling was old and not attractive (even though it looks like a new BMW 535i, Cadillac CTS...

2001 civic. I cleaned and oiled the K&N filter and have gotten poor mileage since then. Is it possible to over oil these and slow down air flow. I also had to drill out th three front screws that hold down the air cleaner cover an replaced with nut/flange bolt config and got the cover secure...

Hydraulic connections (e.g. clutch, brakes) are self-sealing, right? No compound for fear of contaminating the hydraulic fluid, and no anti-seize for the same reason?

I was checking out the MPG, and I noticed that for the 2005 Civic EX Special Edition, the AT has better highway gas mileage than the MT (38 vs 37). I can understand them being the same, but how can AT be higher than MT? The AT even weighs 56 lbs...

So, here is my situation. I have a 1990 Accord EX coupe. When I bought the car, the power door locks worked. Worked fine for about a year. Then, one day they stopped working. I didn't think it was a problem because they working the day after that. They worked fine for about 2 weeks and then...

I only ask because looking at the ECM PRG-EFI relay it sure looks like it would be rather difficult to do. Anone done it? Just thinking about the time my starter died in my 1981 Subaru 4WD. I was parked on a hill, so it was easy to slip it into reverse, roll backwards and pop the clutch. I suspect...

my 91 accord had problems starting tonight, could it be the starter? Something seems to be messed up where I turn the key. is that the starter or is a starter located under the hood? Sorry I dont know **** about cars! RAT

I bought my Honda Accord 2004 2 dr. 3 months ago. Car is still in brake in period, about 3000 miles. Whenever I make turn my seat seams to move a little to the sides – does anyone have such problem? Other thing is my transmission is rough right at the morning, after night or after about 8 hours...

We had a small snow storm on the east coast. I had never been home to see my wife drive her car. The piece of crap 2001CRV could not get out of a few inches of snow. The tires have less than 20k on them. Needless to say we will be getting another SUV; a Jeep or maybe a FJCruiser. I feel sorry for...

This is a newbie question, so any advice would be appreciated. My 1993 Civic won't start. I bought it, put in a bunmch of new parts (cluctch, timing belt, etc). I drobe it for a couple years, but, being a student, I coudlnt afford to renew insurance, so I had to park the car for about 11 months,...

Hi, I recently bought a 1996 Honda Accord EX (Automatic gear, 4 cyl., 2.2 L). It has 240,000 km on it. I have noticed that the gas consumption is a bit high, around 14L/100km or 16 mpg. which is very unusual as I know. I'm not sure what is causing that, but would like to get your response to it....

After having my remote lock/unlock (aftermarket) not work with my Odyssey LX, I did some digging on google groups and found that I can program the remote fobs by doing the following: 1. Put key in ignition 2. Turn key on 3. Press a lock or unlock button on the fob

I'm in the market for a car, and the 98 and earlier Odysseys seem like just what I want in terms of size and functionality. Too bad 97 and earlier had lawnmower engines. But in the 98 they put the VTEC, from the Accord, I believe. But there are no 98s to be had. Could I get an older (95-97) and...
