I bought my '92 Civic at 130,000 and it now has 163,000 mi. I have been driving all this time with broken boots on the tie rods where they plug into the steering gearbox. I don't think the steering feels quite right. I now have the cash and want to get this fixed. Neither shop that I usually go...

On Sunday, my sister-in-law was driving her 4WD Pilot up an icy road in Yosemite. The vehicle skidded on ice, did a 360 degree, and she ended up stuck slightly off the side of the road, but with no damage. Three wheels had no traction, and the 4WD system dutifully delivered all the power to the...

How do I change the clock on my Honda accord 2003?

Can't find my service manual since I moved; anybody got some figures for the torque on the bolts of the rear lower control arms on a 92 Civic EX sedan?

My car (Honda Civic 97 EX) has a mileage of 92000 miles. Yesterday, while I was driving, it suddenly jerked and would not move forward(as if it was in neutral), but it goes fine in reverse. The local auto mechanic says it is a transmission failure and he will charge $2500 for the replacement. He...

I read the recent post on using the Honda specific transmission fluid. I have a 1995 Accord EX with automatic and the owners manual states to use Dextron II or the Honda fluid. Should I still put out the big bucks and get the Honda stuff or what? I would like someone more knowledgeable than me to...

Greetings all Looking at the Syl;vania Silverstar bulbs. I've determined the correct model I'd need, yet I'm seeing everywhere that people are having to remove bumbers to install new bulbs. On an '04 Civic Value Package trim line (the one with roll-down windows and manually operated mirrors),...

I bought a brand new 2005 Honda CRV SE last year and am having a few problems. After a few months, the dome light in the back turns on and shows up on the dash like the door is open when it's not open or even unlocked. I couldn't get the dome light to shut off no matter how hard I shut the door. ...

Hi all, My radiator fan goes on and off a long time after stopping the car: I hadn't driven the car for a couple of days, then the fan goes on and totally kills the battery. I'm totally lost. What could be the culprit? A heat sensor or a shortcircuit? Is it expensive or hard to fix?

94 accord (MT) is intermittantly not engaging the starter when the key is turned to the start position. Pushing in on the key a little will cause it to make contact. Is OK when returning to the on position after starting, engine continues to run. Can I assume that it is the lock cylinder and if...

Hi all Just had my 1999 Integra Type R (UK) serviced and timing belt changed. When I start the car from cold the engine struggles and coughs to get above 1000rpm unless I keep my foot on the accelarator. Once it heats up to running temp its fine. It has stalled a couple of times, when I haven't...

I have a civic I was considering trading in. During service at the Honda dealer today I ask the tech about the v6. He told he would stay away from the v6,,they are always coming in for service with transmission problems. He said the v6 overpowers the transmission. So are the Honda 4cylinder really...

We all can sit inside all bundled up and with...

Hi everyone, I have a 97 accord and front brakes need to be replaced. A mechanic gave me a quote of $280 saying that the rotors were on the inside of the car and it required a special lathe machine. I was wondering what do you guys think? Thanks, Wajahat

Hey everyone, this is my first post on here, and I have to say that I'm happy to have finally found a decent forum for automotive ideas. I am the 3rd proud owner of a 1991 Honda CRX DX (with only 150k original miles). It's seen it's better days though; besides having to do the bare maintenance and...
