Might have done something stupid

I reconnected the battery with the key in the on position and now my 2001 Accord won't start or idle unless I give it gas. If I give it gas, it starts and idles fine. If I let off the gas, the car...

Re: Mineral Deposits left by sprinklers (gsr-2nr)

I have this same problem on 2 cars due to sprinklers. I've tried vinegar and ammonia, CLR, magic eraser, glass stove top cleaner, and various other things. None of these worked for me. I think my...

Re: Water Spots (PhantoM.DA)

Re: Autobody work (sc4dr)

Thanks.

So to summarize, feathering the filler edge over sanded paint is okay, but the primary repair should be over bare metal. I think the rest is clear.

Re: Autobody work (WihaSi)

Thanks.

I have read the sticky and there is a lot of good info in there. Some things are just not clear in my mind though. For example, under feather edging, it states to sand the filler until...

Autobody work

I've done some research and just wanted to know if I have the following ideas correct.

From what I understand, filler should be used on bare metal. The repair area should be stripped to bare...

Re: Removing vent from ABS Plastic Side Skirt (kiddcarbuff)

I would treat this as a bumper repair. You need to make sure you know what type of material this is before you start working on it. Different materials require different treatments. These links...

Re: (Pr0ject93hb)

I'd rethink doing this. If you ever get involved in an accident where brake lights could be an issue, your illegal modification of them is going to be a strong arguing point for the other side.

Re: (fdjizm)

I was overheating with good compression in all my cyclinders. I didn't have fluid in my oil, bubbles in my radiator or green on my plug, so I discounted the head gasket. I replaced the thermostat and...

Re: Push button start (polishrifle)

If you have to insert the key and turn to #II position, isn't it more work. Isn't it easier to just turn the key a little more at that point than to push a button somewhere else. I imagine you...

Re: (project_delta)

This may not be as likely, but you can also check that the coolant is flowing properly. If for some reason the sensor isn't in contact with the hot coolant (i.e. air in system, poor circulation) it...

Re: Overheating issues (loosestring)

Not sure why you would replace the fan relay and fan switch, unless the fan was not switching on. You said the fan works, does that mean it is switching on when the engine gets hot or just that the...

From your description, it sounds real shady to me. Usually the rubber gets old, fatigues and cracks or rips. If the rubber is looking good and there is a nice little pin hole there, I'd be...

Re: (simplyredvw)

Okay, my two cents. Pepboys sells the outer CV boot for the civic for around $14 and it comes with grease and clamps. You will need a $15 clamp tool to tighten these. That's about as cheap as it...
