1996 Civic SI Coupe - Idle Problem/Heating&AC Problem!
Hi Everyone. I jsut recently bought a 96 SI (5 speed) and dropped a used
engine into it as the previous engine was seized (long story). I just put it on the road and all is well (so far). Two (minor) problems i've encountered a High Idle speed when slowing/stopping down and after releasing the clutch. This happens after the car has been driven for a while. I've read other posts and have become sort of familiar with the IAC Valve. The O2 sensor on the car is new. Could the IAC be the problem? How do I remove it and should I replace part of it (which part)? Should I replace the whole thing? Should I clean it? How? !! Problem #2: The heating controls are all messed up! When I select the button for the windshield (front) defrost, the vents from the dash start blowing, when I select the vents only, the front windshield defrosters start blowing!! What could be the cause of this?? thanks for any and all help you're able to provide! Aly |

The procedure varies with model year and engine code, and it is not the same for the entire 96 - 00 generation Civics. If you don't follow the proper procedure for your particular engine, you will get problems like you describe. What engine do you have in the car now? It is conceivable that the IAC is partially blocked, and that the idle adjustment screw is opened too wide to compensate for this. The IAC can be cleaned with throttle body cleaner. If you try re-adjusting the idle, make sure you find the right idle adjustment screw. On the throttle body there is a throttle stop screw that looks and works like the idle adjustment screw on old carburetor. This is NOT where you adjust the idle, and the factory manual has big warnings about not touching this screw. > > Problem #2: The heating controls are all messed up!

What could be the cause of this?? Someone else posted about this problem quite some time ago. There is a mode control motor on the air handler. The air hanlder is under the millde of the dash, and the mode control motor is on the left side of the air handler. Thie motor assembly has a mode encoder in it, any chance that the encoder has rotated out of position? |

The guests select food, beverages, silverware... everything from the buffet table. They move to wherever they are comfortable, and sit with whoever they choose. Provide trays so your guests will not spill everything all over your house from carrying too much, nor will they have to make 10 trips back and fourth from the service stations. Roast Leg of Amputee By all means, substitute lamb or a good beef roast if the haunch it is in any way diseased. But sometimes surgeons make mistakes, and if a healthy young limb is at hand, then don?t hesitate to cook it to perfection! 1 high quality limb, rack, or roast Potatoes, carrot Oil celery onions green onions parsley garlic salt, pepper, etc 2 cups beef stock Marinate meat (optional, not necessary with better cuts). Season liberally and lace with garlic cloves by making incisions, and placing whole cloves deep into the meat. Grease a baking pan, and fill with a thick bed of onions, celery, green onions, and parsley. Place roast on top with fat side up. Place uncovered in 500° oven for 20 minutes, reduce oven to 325°. Bake till medium rare (150°) and let roast rest. Pour stock over onions and drippings, carve the meat and place the slices in the au jus.
