I have an extremely nice 1990 Civic DX 4-door 5-speed 1.5L with about 135K miles. The rear trailing arm bushings (the big ones) are squeaking/creaking and I'm contemplating a little suspension work. So ... Should I go through the entire front and rear suspensions and replace ALL the rubber...

I have been shopping for a new honda off and on the last several months, but may start getting serious finally. I had my mind set on a civic, but I absolutely hate the interior. I am not considering a 2005 or 2006 Accord EX. A service tech at the dealer said he would not buy the V6 because they...

My timing belt went at 10 miles an hour and I had a new one put on they tested compression and I am about 134 to 139 on all but the #2 cylinder it tested at 129 still within tolerance. I lost about 1/4 of the power it used to have mainly at high RPM's is my timing off? the engine was from a...

Hi, honda prelude 2001, rebuilt engine. When I just barely hit the gas, I get a sound like a rattle or tapping sound from somewhere in the engine area. If I remove my foot, the sound immediate stops the second my foot leaves the pedal. If I just barely touch the gas pedal, just enough to...

Spoke to my buddy yesterday and he mentioned that hi 93 accord lost about 2litres of oil per 5000km.. That really doesn't sound to normal to me. Oil pan seems clean, Gaskets don't seem to be leaking and no black smoke from the exhaust.. Any tips on what could be the reason for this car eating...

I just noticed that my 90 accord EX has about 1/2 inch of vertical play in the steering wheel. It's like the adjuster isn't quite grabbing or something, even though the adjuster itself feels tight. Is this a loose U-joint or something in the wheel itself?

Hi all. When I use the the washer, I don't hear the pump and there's fluid in there. Does anyone know if the pump is fused or does it sound like the pump went south? TIA.

About six months ago I heard there would be more Fits available by Spring 07. Seems they are still in short supply. Anybody know when we will start seeing more and why there are so few in Northern California? \Samson

Hi folks, Haven't posted in a long while. '97 Civic EX coupe, 5 spd, 150k miles Normally, I am very fastidious about my maintenance, but I've moved several times in the last year and a half, and I let my maintenance slip as a result. I got under my car last weekend for a MTF change and...

89 civic automatic, 150k. last couple of days, the lockup clutch has taken forever to kick in. when it finally does, its operation is solid and reliable and it holds just fine with operation being just like normal. the problem is that it's taking about 20 minutes for it to start working. i...

in reading other posts, it looks like i changed my oil a little early. around 5k. however, the oil life indicator is now @ 10% and im wondering why it didnt recognize the new oil. or is resetting it done manually? thanks SS

The engine on my 1990 is racing--reving up to 2000 rpms then dropping back to 1000 rpms--continuously while in drive and also while idling. Any ideas what could be causing this problem and how to fix it?

The check engine light came on 3 times in our 99 Accord LX sedan 2.3L (152,000 miles) in the last month. First it was just the gas cap, then the evap canister and other parts were replaced and I was told it must be something else like the PCM. This was the computer readout from my local repair...

Hey guys I am picking up a used 2001 Honda CR-V EX on Thursday. The car only has 67,000 on it but I want to really inspect the car good before I buy it. I am not very familiar with Hondas as this will be the first one that I have purchased. What I really want to know is what should I really be...

I have a 97 accord with 200K miles. For over 30K, I have been experiencing engine ping at part throttle. Two mechanics haven't been able to find anything wrong during general inspection periods. I recently had a tune up and valve adjustment which didn't do anything. I tried a bottle of techron in...

Hey, I went ahead and rebuilt my prelude engine. the builder told me it be just like new. But it seems unchanged to me. I expected it to sound quieter but it sounds the same. It also burnt 2 quarts of oil in 800 miles. The installer (different then the builder) says that if it continues to...

89 Civic LX automatic with 224466 miles. I had first overheating problem after driving about 30 mins in freeway. The temp indicator almost reached to red. I immediately stop the car and open the hood and saw most of coolant was poured out. The radiator cap was half opened. I simply don't get it...

Hi, If I only run my accord for a minute or so (i.e. do not let it warm up) and then shut it off, it has trouble starting the next time I try to start it. The trouble ranges from 1) starting normally, then idling roughly for a minute or so, and then running normally to 2) starting and then quickly...

Without my wife's knowledge, I am thinking of getting a Ridgeline... if nothing else, I am just toying with the idea for giggles... I have heard of many problems with any car company's first production year of a new model... Are there any owners of a 2006 Ridgeline (I think 2006 was the...
