In freezing temperatures the power antenna on my '94 Accord LX is often stuck because of the plastic strip that moves the antenna telescop is just not able to handle the extra friction. Since I still want to use my mp3 player through the radios FM band under those conditions, I'd like to splice in...

Hi. I have a Honda-civic, year 2000 driven about 138,000 Kms (about 85,000 miles). It runs great. No complaints. However, the timing-belt has never been changed on this car. Is it due now? How much should it cost to replace, approx estimate. Thanks, Kenny.

Last Wednesday my 98 Civic DX Hatchback got plowed into by a couple of yahoos in a pickup truck. Luckily no one was hurt but the car has been declared a total loss. As I wait for the adjustor to call me and bend me over what would you guess is a fair market value for the car. I'm not looking to...

Does anybody know where the Jack Points are for 1990 Acura Legend 4 doors? I know the 4 points under the 4 doors but I need to jack up the car and put jack stands on those points. Thus I need to jack on on another spot using a hydraulic jack. Actually in general how do the Mechanics find out...

My 95 Honda civic overheats when the car is not moving. It only seems to over heat after I drive the car on the freeway. I've let the car sit for 20 min running and the temp stayed fine. But if I got about 5 miles on the freeway and get of as soon as I'm not moving it over heats. I've noticed the...

Hi, I am in the process of buying a 1998 Honda civic Ex. The car has 84K on it. It has always been serviced at an authorized Honda dealer. But the seller is asking for more than Kelly Book Value which is ~ $6700. I have few questions and would be thankful to anyone who could answer :- 1) Is 84K...

Greeting We just got a 2005 CRV and are mostly very pleased. the radio reception and the wimpy audio system is really hard to understand. its hard to believe a company as electronic savey as Honda in this day and age can't put a good radio in a $23K suv. What have you all done to rectify this Honda...

I had a dead battery this morning and realized it was due to my rear brake lights being on all night. I made sure the actual brake was not stuck and it was not. I found a post similiar to this where the problem was caused by a "button" under the dash, but I could not find any more specific...

Hi, My speedometer needle had recently been going wild and I'm assuming, after looking around, that it's my VSS that's gone bad. Additionally, my Check Engine Light finally came on and the needle is now stone cold dead. First, if this is in fact the problem, does anyone have any available? I'm...

Did an oil change today. While I was under there, I had a good look at the fasteners I will be rquired to attack when I eventually do the suspension bushings. Everything appears straightforward, except for one item: The inboard-most bolt on the lower control arm. The nut for that bolt is...

Hello all, 92 civic dx 5sp 150K miles... You've probably noticed by now I have quite a few questions. Thing is I just bought the car and am trying to sort things out. I just found the PCV valve on my civic (seems like it's located in the intake manifold right before the head--correct me if I'm...

Can anyone direct me to an illustration that shows what lights should be visible on the dash and instrument panel on a '94 Accord EX? I can't see the needles on my speedometer or tach at night. I don't recall when I first noticed it, but it's pretty annoying. If it had been like that all...

My 91 Civic's right rear drum brake makes a "wunka-wunka" noise every now and then when I press the brake pedal while driving and coming to a stop. This began two days ago, after a heavy snowstorm (8 inches or more, so around brake drum height), parking lot (at the top of a mountain) not plowed,...

Hi All, Something odd has been happening with my '98 Acura Integra (base model, manual transmission). When the RPMs begin to drop and reach 1900 RPMs, there is a sound I hear that seems to be two surfaces rubbing or grinding against each other. It last for less than a second but consistently...

My 1997 Honda Civic DX started for two or three seconds then died. The engine turns over fine but will not start or even fire. When I disconnect the fuel line at the manifold to check for pressure and flow, the engine starts. It runs until the fuel in the injection manifold is gone. When the fuel...

Please help! What to do? I cannot get off the rear wheel drum on my trusty '78 Honda Civic (just 100,305 M on it) to check the brake shoes. The nut is off, and I've loosened the brake adjustment, but the drum does not come off.(It can be rotated.) I've tried prying with a screw driver between...

I have been getting an intermittent P0171 code, fuel system too lean, along with a P0170 code, fuel compensation value exceeded the specified range. To prevent a barrage of useless follow-up questions, here are the specs of my car: 1998 Honda Accord LX, 4-cylinder, 123k. New spark plugs...

My brother in-law just had a scary incident with his Honda Odyssey (2002?) yesterday (03/13/2005). While driving on Hwy 635 (between Fort Worth and Dallas), the van just completely locks the front wheels causing a skid to a complete stop. He almost got rear ended as he can see smoke vented from...

What to do? I have a 1988 Honda Accord Coupe who's engine seized nearly a year ago. I need a new engine and a new transmission, which I could get, rebuilt. The body is in good condition, but the seats are torn and I also would be needing new A/C. Also needed would be a new windshield washer...

Hi, I cannot believe that I had to change my alternator and Struts at 58K. What kind of quality is Honda producing? I called their customer service, they said sorry out of the warranty!! Very disappointing. Will never buy a Honda again.
