Re: Vibration @ idle and while accelerating?

Also, pull engine codes and see if there is a 02 sensor issue as that sensor can cause vibration issues when it goes bad. Even if your engine light is not on check for codes.

Re: mysterious idle

Ok so I replaced the by-pass thermal valve and the up and down idle is gone! There is now a slight uptick in idle at stoplights that lasts a couple of seconds at around 1100 RPMs then quickly settles...

Re: mysterious idle

Well, it seems to be the thermal by pass valve allowing too much air, I did the vacuum tests and it failed. I ordered a new one. Now my cruise control stopped working!

Re: 2004 civic ep3 transmision nightmare

So I convinced him to drop the tranny and take a look-he swears is the pressure plate but will crack it open and have me come over to see it. What should I look for? Anyone has diagram or a photo of...

Re: 2004 civic ep3 transmision nightmare

I found a broken torsion bar link, of course they did not break it...I will replace the links as a set and see if that makes any difference as far as vibrations but I do not expect it will. I am at...

Re: 2004 civic ep3 transmision nightmare

I suspect not shimming it is why I am having rough gear shifts and hard to shift onto first gear at times even though both clutch cylinders are new now.

Re: 2004 civic ep3 transmision nightmare

so if I see this correctly, without shims there is excess play transmitted to the main shaft and that in turns can make the pressure plate vibrate/shake? Is the shim for the case under the...

Re: 2004 civic ep3 transmision nightmare

I asked mechanic again and he said all they did was transfer internals as a whole from one case to another (driver side case) and the issue is pressure plate. So either he is lying or they damaged...

You are selling a Prelude right? Other cars will have different values obviously. Good to see you are comparing and looking at blue book values.

Re: FS/FT 2001 Honda Prelude 33k summer car

What did you base the asking price on? KBB value for that car in outstanding condition (3% of cars in this condition) with 33,500 miles is around $6400 (private sale) in Texas.
