I'll soon be replacing the OEM Bridgestone Turanzas on my '03 Accord V6. The tread life and fuel economy they've given have been outstanding, but the handling leaves something to be desired. For example, I've found myself slowing to 60 mph in strong, gusting crosswinds while other drivers, even...

On a routine coolant change, I noticed that the radiator is spewing out a lot of rust. I filled and drained the coolant a couple of times, but there still seems to be a lot of it. The rust wasn't there during the last coolant change. What could have caused it? Is it a bad sign?

I am considering buying a 2007 civic EX with the gps. I was trying to find some manuals online to see how good a system this is, but I cannot. 1) Can you set the sytem to route only highway? or avoid highways? 2) is this the same system in the acura? my friend has a 2006 acura and they looked...

I adjusted the valve clearances on a '95 Civic, 1.6L DOHC non-vtec, yesterday, with good results. However I read on an older thread that, while measuring the gap, you should push down on the other end of the rocker arm to eliminate slack. Should I have done this? Any other things to adjust to...

I live in a hot climate, where it never snows, it's always humid and the coldest it gets is around 84 degrees Fahrenheit (93 in the shade in summer!). Even if a throttle body coolant bypass doesn't gain any HP (and I hear from Mista Bone it doesn't), wouldn't it be "kinder" to the cooling system...

Hi, I bought a used 98 Accord which has karr security system on it I am not sure about the model number of it, remote for that was not working so I had to change the battery. It was working fine for some time one night I locked my car with remote and tried to open it next day morning with remote...

I just had the automatic transmission in my 2001 Accord LX-V6 replaced under warranty. I'm at 90k miles, so I have only 10,000 more miles to go before I'm playing Russian roulette with the replacement transmission. I'm curious for real life experiences or scuttlebutt on how long these replacement...

As part of my A level A2 Graphics with Materials project I am looking at the client's perception of dealerships amd what would possibly attract potential buyers into the dealership. I am looking at a specific dealership in Plymouth, SW UK, but would welcome any responses to the questions outlined...

My car is still at the Honda dealer.... They replaced the coil. They replaced the sensor. Engine still misfiring. They cleaned the fuel injectors. Engine still misfiring. Last I heard they had replaced a fuel injector and are testing it. I have called the 800# way back when I first started...

My Civic '95 ESi (1.6L SOHC non-vtec D16 variant), had a high-idle problem before. When warm, there was suction at the TB lower port (which according to the manual, there shouldn't be). I temporarily "fixed" the problem by blocking off the fast idle valve. When started cold, the EACV seems to be...

I am considering a 2007 CRV and was going to get a 2WD EX but now I am deciding on getting a 4WD LX. I drive in light snow sometimes and heavy rain quite a bit. A couple of questions: 1) I read that 4WD is actually not too good on the CRV--has the 2007 improved? 2) Is there any benefit to getting...

Honda's new CR-V offers even more than earlier models at http://www.washtimes.com/autoweekend/20061102-124149-5727r.htm

Yesterday I replaced my spark plugs (the gaps were HUGE) and since I've been noticing poor fuel economy the last month or so, I decided to run 1/3 of a can of Seafoam in through the Brake-assist vacuum line. Shortly thereafter, I got in the car and did a good 160 miles of highway driving. After...

Does anyone know if Comptech is working on one? Thanks, Joel

My car has close to 200K miles, although I have kept my interior in great condition. The only problem is a film stain of grime/dirt that won't seem to come off with armor-all cleaner on the textured vinyl door handle and other surfaces. Any recommendations on some stronger stuff to try...

My car has close to 200K miles, although I have kept my interior in great condition. Even new carpeted floormats however seem tough to keep clean. I have used pure steam on them with no luck (Euro-Pro EP93 steamer), and those aerosol cleaner cans with the built in brush don't cut...

I have a 97 Accord with about 200K miles. I replaced my struts 30K miles ago with another set of Monroe Sensatracs (which worked well in the past for me). For the past 2 months I have experienced handling problems. My mechanic found that the rear driver-side strutt is leaking badly. I plan on...

My '98 Odyssey has 158,000 miles on the original timing belt, and I'm done tempting fate. Just two questions... #1. Any gotchas or special tools needed? #2. Anything else I should replace while I'm in there?

Awhile back I posted a topic about my 2000 Civic Si's chirping sound: "My 2000 Civic Si is makes a squeaking/chirping noise when the engine is running. I can make the noise go away by putting a very small amount of weight on the clutch pedal. I can also make the noise go away if I gently push in on...
