Re: 2000 civic lx a/c wont turn on please help!

Geez.. Don't you just hate trying to help folks with electrical problems. I say bring it into a shop and have them check the refrigerant charge level. I didn't see you mention anything about that....

Re: Power windows not working SOS

Since the windows seem to work when sometimes with the door opening and closing, I'd probably start with that. I would probably check that harness that runs from the body to the door. I've seen it...

Re: Main relay, fuel relay, main fuel relay, can we clear this up?

I believe the correct term should be PGM-FI Main Relay. But yeah, they're probably all referring to the same thing.

As for the "Click" sound when trying to start. Sounds like the Starter isn't...

Re: battery keeps draining

Just a thought but. I've never seen a parasitic drain cause a fuse to blow. Fuses should only blow when there's a short to ground or there's excessive draw on the circuit.

Re: 96 lx doesnt start when hot(not the relay)

If you want to point your fingers at the Ignition or Starter, I'd start with check the ignition switch. I'd probably just turn the key to start and wiggle it around and see if it starts. Sometimes...

Re: 1998 Accord Help?

I'd go back to Pep Boys and make sure you print this out and take it with you.

Re: 1998 Accord Help?

Re: Sport Light Stays on (After Reset Too)

Well looking at the internals itself might not help. It could be something like the PGM-FI Main Relays where the naked eye can't see the problem. On those relays, the excessive heat seems to have...

I usually check to see if the AC compressor works first and that the lines are the correct temp to the touch. While this is happening, I also peek at the Heater Control Valve and make sure it works....

Re: Ignition switch need replacing?

I remember there being a recall for that, I don't remember what year and models though. I'd check and see if it's covered first before spending any money. A quick call to the dealer with your VIN...

Re: CEL: code 43 & srs light

Every time I run into an SRS problem, I check the battery first. A battery that's on its way out can cause some weird things to go on.

Re: Is this the right rack and pinion for 94 civic coupe?

Looks clean to me. Is that OEM or auto parts store? If it's not OEM, chances are it will look a little different.

Re: Auto Transmission - Fluid Drain or Flush

The norm in both of the shops that I was at was drain and fill once. There is one rule of thumb that I follow though. Never change the auto trans fluid on a car with 90,000 plus miles on it if it...

Re: wheel pushed back closer to fender

Just bring it into the shop and let them have a look. Chances are Murphy's Law will kick in and it'll be the last thing that you replace. As for Caster, you can't really adjust it on older Honda's...

Re: Diagnosing my car from 300 miles away. Brake problem.

Re: Why is tranny fluid leaking out of my differential

Gotta start with the simple stuff. Axle seals, big axle nut socket or whatever fits, hammer, and a steady hand. Quit over-thinking the problem, it'll help you sleep at night.
