Hi, I have a 2002 Honda Civic SiR (or Si in US), and it has been having steering problems: on launching, or at low speeds when the throttle is applied, there is a creaking sound coming from inside the dash. The sound is similar to an old door opening where the hinges need oil. Some times it...

I bought a 97 Civic HX 6 months ago and have put about 8000 highway miles on it. I have only replaced the spark plugs when I first got it and got close to 40 MPG. It has 88000 miles. In the last 1000 miles it is down to around 33MPG (under same driving conditions). What should I look...

I have a 90 Accord EX, love it!!!! Very clean car, even w/ almost 200k miles. The car is having a hesitation problem when taking off from a dead stop. It does seem like you can throttle through the hesitation, b/c once above 30-40mph it runs great. It also does it when cruising and giving it just a...

I was givin a 97 Honda Civic. The only problem is its hard to get into and out of gear, almost like the linkage is bent or it's real cold out. It also runs great but when I hit second gear the clutch seems to slip. Do both these symptoms sounds like they are clutch related? Is it worth it to...

I have a 91 Accord with 160K on it. I've read through past messages to know it is very likely I have a VSS problem, which happens to Honda's about this time frame. My problem is intermittent. The speedometer and odometer die, but the tach does not. The blinking S light starts and is followed...

I want to change the fuel filter on a '95 Odyssey........but I can't find it. Could someone please help me. Thank you

So, some crackhead ganked my stereo, and apparently in his/her drugged-out haze mistook my air bag computer unit (right behind the stereo) for something that could be converted into drugs via a nearby pawn shop. How expensive is this unit? Anybody know where I can get one? This is a 1994 Prelude...

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/acfang/detail?.dir=8649&.dnm=27da.jpg&.src=ph this is the spark plug from a 97 integra gsr that was changed about 20k ago. The electrode looks fine, but I wonder if the black ring near the threads means anything. My car has a little bit of pinging even though I run...

I'm looking at a '95 Honda Accord LX, 70,000 miles, interior & exterior excellent except for a small patch of rust - size of a quarter on hood, new tires, tune ups and oil changes done faithfully, single owner, garaged winters while owner was in FLA. Standard Transmission. NOTHING has been done...

The running lights, that is the tail lights, small front lights and the dash lights won't turn off when the lights are turned off, whether the engine is oon or off. 2001 Honda Accord. Does anyone have any idea why this is happening ? My son said it happened a few months ago for a short while and...

Sometimes when i startup my 1994 Civic EX (vtec) the engine revs back and forth between 1500 and 2000 rpm a few times before finally settling down at 1500 (then dropping lower as the engine warms up). anyone know what might be causing this?

Wow. I just priced replacing struts on my 2001 Accord LX V-6. The local Honda dealer wants $122 each for oem replacement struts - which just happens to be the same price as replacement Bilsteins off the web . . . :-) . . . and the service person estimated 4 hours of labor at $78/hour for...

I replaced my cap, rotor, and PCV valve with Honda parts about 4 weeks ago on my 98 civic 5spd (205000kms). I noticed a big difference in acceleration. So I gave myself a week to enjoy the newfound peppiness, and then started driving normally again. However, even after resuming normal driving,...

i have a 99 crv, and i was servicing the brakes and i unscrewed the brake fluid bolt and brake fluid came out. Now after that the brake doesn't work well. Any ideals how to fix it.

I am wondering what kind of transmission fluid to use as a replacement on an 87 Prelude SI with a manual transmission. I got the car to work on the clutch and have since taken out the transmission. I haven't been able to find out easily online what sort of replacement fluid to use or if it matter...

Hi, I'd like to make the switch to synthetic oil in (1.6 L) 00 DX Civic 88,000 miles and was wondering if a flush of some type is needed? Or, just make the change? What weight Syn is appropriate? Thanks...

Hello everyone, I searched past newsgroup posts and couldn't find anything about this topic. Currently, the dealers get a $1000 incentive from the factory on the 2004 Accord models. Apparently this is supposed to end in October... Will the incentive be increased in November to move out any...

I don't know that I'm experiencing an actual problem with the climate control system in my 1999 EX V6, but it is behaving a little differently than it has before, so I figured I'd ask. I've never had any problem with it before; heat and AC have always worked flawless and quietly. However,...

Hi! Would like to have some feedback of people who had the heat sensor on their civic's changed (have a 98 civic hatch)... Ever since, I've noticed that my car guzzles up the gaz!!I'm getting around 11 liters/100km. It's nuts! Any help or advice would be appreciated. p.s.: even though I've...
