Hello, Before I consider any and all Hondas for my next car, I have to know about snow traction. I live in New England and that is a fact of life. I understand that you can get the Civic Si with the standard M&S tires instead of the summer only. I know the car has 6spd MT and ABS/EBD/VSA and...

The "check engine" light (referred to as a malfunction light in the manual) in my 2000 Odyssey LX just came on a few days ago. The car has roughly 65k miles on it and gets its regular scheduled maintenance. I had the 60k maintneance done a few months ago, and just had an oil change done at the...

Just wondering--whenever I use the AC, my Accord keeps defaulting to outside air (as do most newer vehicles, I've noticed). I drive mostly in traffic and don't like to breathe exhaust fumes filling the car, so I'm continually resetting it to recirc. But I'm curious as to why outside air is the...

My 2002 Saturn was a casualty in the Tennessee tornadoes last Friday. I'm looking for something reliable, inexpensive, and fuel-efficient, with manual transmission, under $15,000. Saturn seems to have given up on fuel-efficiency and most of the other things that once made it a sensible...

I've been Googling for info about my '94 Accord EX 4-cyl VTEC sounding like a diesel engine, especially when cold. I found lots of references to it, and even discovered a term that was new to me: "piston slap." Possible solutions include valve adjustment, piston adjustments, getting a new short...

Anyone else out there have a problem with the side view mirror switch on their 1999-2004 Honda Odyssey? The side view mirror switch on my wife's 2002 Ody would not move either mirror in the UP direction (left side or right side mirror) but it would move them left, right, or down. When the van was...

My 1990 acura integra did not pass Virginia emissions due to high CO2 at 25 MPH. I think limit was 80 PPM and it tested at 140 PPM. It has news plugs, clean filters, and 173,000 miles. Is this a simple mixture adjustment? Thanks, Dan

2000 Honda Accord EX, 4 door, 5 speed, just 90,000 miles. At 90,000 miles, it is usually recommended to change the timing belt, replace the water pump, also power steering belt and alternator belt. Do you guys recommend replacing or just inspect timing belt and replace all only if needed? I...

My 2006 accord V-6 Automatic makes very little noise when the turn signals are operating. Consequently, some times I don't turn them off when I should. My hand may be blocking the green arrow on the dash. Is there any way to increase the sound intensity so I will be more aware of when a...

M.T.09.05-08.Tanskan insinööriliitossa uskotaan uusiutuvaan energiaan "Energiasuunnitelma 2030"- nimisen raportin (ES). Sen tekoon osallistui 1 600 insinööriä ja muita energia-asiantuntijoita. ES:stä sijoitukset uudisenergiaan ovat ekologisesti ja taloudellisesti hyvin perusteltuja. Samoin...

My transmission is getting a little harsh when shifting into 2nd, particularly when cold. A friend with a VW says that his old tranny (180k miles) shift a lot better after he put Redline MTL in it. Somewhere I believe I have heard or read that people have experienced premature failure of the...

That depends on how thick you apply the paint. If you have a deep chip you need to layer it and take your time. -- Steve "Mike S." > wrote in message ... > > In article >, Steve W. >

Hi, I have a '98 Honda Accord with just 60K miles. Took it for an oil change and the garage told me I need to replace both front ball joints (and have an alignment). I don't really know the mechanic well enough to trust him, so I'm unsure. I've decided not to have it done for now, and will have it...

Hello, I am going to replace both the driveshafts in my 1991 Civic Si with 133k miles. I am getting prepped for the job in terms of tools, parts, and knowledge and have come across a few things where I could use some advice and reassurance. I have done some googling of RAMH and have figured out a...

Hello all, Now that summer is here and temperatures are rising above 90 (in this part of Maryland), I have been noticing a peculiar problem with my '92 Honda Accord. Especially on a hot day (though I am not sure about this correlation) after the car's been driven around for a bit, the...

Such a thing actually exists. And I took a picture of it. http://www.tegger.com/hondafaq/misc/skyline_wiper.jpg This Nissan Skyline of unknown vintage lives across the street from where I work, and I discovered it just last week. What a cool car. I always wondered why Nissan never sold it in...

Hi I want to get a MP3 player for my 2001 Honda Civic Hatchback in the UK and not lose my existing tape player. Halfords say that they can't add another headunit to my tape unit, instead I would hv to go for a Sony MP3 CD changer + Adaptor for 300£. I would like a reliable, clean-sounding and...

On paper these should have pretty even performance #'s but the Altima beats the Accord soundly when comparing auto trannys, and trounces it when it comes to the 6 speed. Were talking 1/2 second in the quarter and 0-60 in the autos, and a full second for the 6 speed. What gives with the...
