I just bought a used 2002 4 door, automatic civic LX, low mileage and would like to know what might be a probable cause with starting the car. Anytime I try to start the car when it has been off for a good night, it will take at least 6 to 10 starter revs before the cars starts. However, if I...

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...

Hi, folks. Haven't been here in a while. Combo of excellent previous advice here that got me through a couple of repairs, plus the first baby in the family--boy now 5 mos. and super cute!--and a move. ;-)) Anyhow, my MIL (check engine light) indicates a DTC 41. 128K miles. "Primary oxygen...

I've got a 1992 Accord with a leak somewhere - I replaced the master cylinder last week (it was leaking onto the pedal floor) and, after bleeding and adjusting the pedal/master cylinder piston height, the pedal finally retracts. The clutch pedal was acting funny in two ways: 1) occasionally doesn't...

Hi everyone... As I usually do when seaking solutions, I searched the archives in this group for similar threads. While I found a few which were similar, none seemed to be the exact symptoms I'm getting... So here goes... My 1991 Accord EX Wagon 5 speed has a hard metalic "rap" or "snap"...

Honda is telling me that I should have them perform a $250 valve adjustment on my 99 Accord V6 in addition to the $780 timing belt replacement that I'm having done today. The odometer reads 88K miles. Is the valve adjustment really worth $250? Is it something I should attempt myself? (I have...

I want to spend about 20k on a car. I am considering: a) fully loaded civic ex b) used 2005/6 accord ex c) 2004 acura tsx--with 25k miles Each of those is around 20-22k.

Well folks I have a 96 Honda Civic that ran fine and then one evening just won't start. I was advised by folks here to get a scanner before going further and I have done so. Tried it today and there are not any stored codes! I have done the following so far; Replaced the distributor cap and...

I tried to change the timing belt on my 89 Civic, I got as far as the crankshaft flywheel/pulley but the nut that secured it to the crankshaft is so tight that no matter what we did, me and my friend can't get it to loosen, does anyone have any idea how to do this? Is it one of those bolts that...

'96 Civic LX w/manual transmission; 175K miles. My speedometer/odometer suddenly become wildly erratic recently and moments later the "Check Engine Light" illuminated. After researching the symtoms on this board and others, I replaced the vehicle speed sensor but the problem remains. I will read...

Hey all, I've got a 1993 Honda Accord with manual transmission. I've recently replaced the CV Axles, both front struts and Master Cylinder (yay!). I've since noticed that my transmission is make some shifting noises. When I'm shifting into a new gear it makes a clicking noise (not a quiet...

I have beed trying to decide what fluid to use in the transmision of my newly aquired 1994 Civic DX with 5 speed manual transmision. I was considering Redline MTL but then decided it is safer to use the Honda MTF. However, then read this after Googling the subject. "Actually, all Honda dealers...

The other day I was driving home, cruising at a constant speed when suddenly my speedo dropped down to zero and the check engine light came on. After that, the speedo jumped all over the place, past 100 mph, back to zero, totally random, and the transmission started shifting weird, so I figured it...

Anyone have any great ideas on how to clean the inside of the rear window behind the center brake light? I looked in the manual and I called Honda - no good ideas! Thanks, glen at ccim dot net

I have a 2005 accord auto ex sedan. I have a 3 year 36k mile lease. I have 18000 mi on it. Suppose I trade it in now and wanted to go into a 2006 civic ex, what would happen? Would I end up owing or needing to put in additional money or is it not even possible? I am in New England in the USA if...

I'm trying to help my friend fix his 98 type SH (everything stock), and I wanted to see if anyone here with a lot of Prelude experience has any ideas. Heres what I have: Got an o2 code (P0135) and a rich code (P0172). We replaced the 02 sensor first, hoping it was the root cause of both problems....

Well after being an '06 Civic owner for 3 months now, I can honestly say that the mileage in this thing is so overrated it's a shame. EPA states 30 city 40 highway but in reality, it depends more on whether the air conditioning is on than anything. Yes I have gottan close to 40 (actually about...

Took my 99 Accord V6 to the dealer today for an "express" oil change that turned into a longer wait than expected. When the service advisor came out, he showed me samples from my power steering fluid and transmission fluid compared to samples from new fluids, and recommended that both systems...
