Hi all, 2004 Accord. The maintenance required light came on yesterday at startup and goes out after 10 blinks. My research tells me this is the built-in notification to have service done (i.e. oil change) but I do that type of service my self. Car has 55K miles and was just serviced one month...

I'm looking to replace the front rotors on my '03 Honda Accord. I'm looking for any advice on a good after market brand of rotors to use. Thanks, Lawton

My 1991 Civic's OEM ignition wires are now five years and 66k miles old. The 1991 owner's manual replacement interval is four years/60k miles. Tegger says he does his on his 1991 Integra at five years, period, though he lives in a northern climate in Canada (and I like what he says about...

Ok, so my lease is coming to an end this month and want to know what I should expect when this inspection guy comes to my house and does Honda's end of lease term inspection. I have kept the car in great condition. It has one small scratch on the driver's side door and 1 ding on the other side. No...

Hello, all, I have a couple of problems with a 1991 Accord that I can't seem to find a definite answer for. It's a 4 cylinder, automatic with 220,000 miles. This my girlfriend's car, so I don't drive it that much, but I've driven it enough to see both problems. First, the check engine light...

I have been having some idling problems and decided to check out the EACV system on my 91 Civic HB. No ECU codes, car starts fine. The main symptom was the drop in idle speed to 500rpm when the engine was cold and I was braking. Symptom went away after the car warmed up. Following the...

I had a set of 4 Hankook Tires put on my 2005 accord ex sedan a month ago. I believe they are 205/60HR 14's. So far so good. I did have to get one of the valve stems replaced because it was leaking after going to the carwash, but the tire place that I had it done did it for free as they gave me...

88 CRX DX. Heater fan blows fine on every speed but #1. 2 thru 4 are fine. To those who know: Could this be the resistor? (I thought resistors were an all-or-nothing affair leaving only the highest speed upon failure.) Or is it the switch? Thanks. Kevin

I am on the road and noticed my AC isn't performing well. Local shops want close to a $100 for an R-134 refil (97 Honda Accord). I saw an R-134 refil kit at Walmart for $20. Has anyone had success with these inexpensive refil kits? Thanks

Well, I bought an '07 Accord and am getting nervous (anxious) about the first oil change. For a new car, I normally change the oil at 1,500 miles, 3,000 miles and every 3,000 miles thereafter. With my Accord, the Engine Oil Life indicator show 70% life remaining with 2,300 miles on the...

Canadian Tire couldn't diagnose a flat tire on a sunny day. Don't let them fix your Honda, Acura, Dodge, Ford, etc. Anybody else feel this way? _I'm scared to even buy TIRES from them_ . . . I think they would screw something up :-( 'Curly'

I am trying to find a good used Honda Civic hatchback with a manual transmission in the Seattle area and so far haven't been having any luck. I have found a few with automatic transmissions. The reason I was looking for a manual is that it's a cheaper repair if/when it breaks than an automatic...

Hello, I was wondering how the transmission being a manual is like to drive? Is it as smooth as they say? I mean as far as when you let out the clutch and what about the shifting? Are the gates well defined or mushy? I had a 1990 Miata 5 speed and the shifting actually made a click sound when...

Can someone advise me? I have a 93 Honda Civic DX, and need to have a piston replaced, but the mechanic says it's just as checp to put in a used engine. The engine still has so much power, I hate to replace it with a potentially weaker or more unreliable one (going used to save $$$). Can anyone...

I finally have to give up on the stock radio/cassette deck in my 94 Civic EX.* Any recommendations for a new car stereo system, or good sites that review them? I don't need massive wattage or super bass, and the ambient noise in a Civic is such that massive frequency range is irrelevant. I hope...

There's an answer at 8:00AM this morning at 404-943-1620 or 866-356-0789 at radiosandysprings.com also an oil, filter and lube job at less than half price. This is for you folks in Sandy Springs, GA that love cars like I do! Does Steve know cars? He has a Model A and T, Avanti, 39 Cad, MG-TD and...

Hi guys, I have a 97 accord with an a/t. There is a strange noise coming from the engine. The noise is constant and it is similar to what you hear when you engage the first gear or to a lesser extent the reverse gear on a stick shift car. The noise is not there when the car is in neutral no...

Something I recently noticed while researching the CR-V as a possible choice. The rear bumper and the rear hatch. If the rear bumper is hit, so is the rear hatch and any minor or major damage to the bumper is nothing compared to the repair cost of the rear hatch. Suddenly the side opening...

Have a 1990 Accord EX 210,000 mi. Battery light came on, took battery and alternator to A-Z for check, Battery was bad, alternator said good. Put in new battery and battery light came on a few miles later. Battery voltage 12.54 with car off, 12.28 when running. Replaced alternator, same results....
